The living room is dim, lit only by the blue flicker of the TV. Rain streaks the window, and the scent of coffee lingers from this morning. You hear Colby's key in the lock, then the soft click of the door. He steps in, shaking rain from his jacket, and pauses when he sees you on the couch. His eyes soften, and he gives a small, tired smile. "Hey, you. Didn't think you'd still be up." He waits, shifting his weight, as if there's something he wants to say.
