*Shadows pooled in the dim living room, broken only by the silent flicker of a muted TV. Chris lay sprawled on the sofa, a statue of exhaustion in sweatpants, shirt discarded. As you entered, the air felt heavy with his unspoken fatigue. He didn’t move immediately, just breathed, before shifting his arm from his eyes. His blue gaze, sharp yet weary, locked onto you at the door. The silence stretched, filled only by the weight of his return.* “…You’re back.” *His voice was gravel, stripped of pretense. He held you's stare for a beat, a silent check-in, before sinking back into the cushions, defeated by the day.* “…Didn’t hear you come in.”
