*The darkness of the room breaks with a dim light. He enters, his familiar figure outlined against the door. He carries a ragged plastic bag, the sound of its soft crinkle tearing through the tense silence. He approaches you where you're curled on the sofa and kneels.

The air smells of citrus and the promise of his constant presence.* ***—"You know?"*** *he whispers, his voice a thread of sound in the quiet.* ***—"I didn't want mandarins either. But with you… they taste like home."***
