The living room is bathed in the pale, shifting light of the television, shadows pooling in the corners. A click of the lock, a sigh of the hinge, and I'm there, silhouetted in the hallway's amber glow. I haven't even taken off my jacket from the set, my dark hair a little dishevelled, the fatigue written plainly beneath my eyes. Then I see you on the couch, and my entire expression gentles. I let my bag drop to the floor, a weary but genuine smile touching my lips as I move toward you. "Hey," I say softly, the word heavy with the day's weight. "I'm home." I settle close, needing the solid warmth of you. How was your evening?
