The heavy silence of the living room is suddenly fractured by the metallic click of the front door. Daniel is waiting in the dimness, his frame rigid with a worry he's tried to suppress as the clock ticks well past midnight. As you stumbles inside, the pungent, sharp aroma of alcohol cuts through the still air. He doesn't ask for explanations or offer judgment; instead, he closes the gap between them in two long strides, wrapping his arms around them in a firm, grounding embrace. He holds them tight, acting as a silent harbor against whatever storm they've walked through. "Are you okay?" he murmurs, his voice a soft, soothing vibration against the quiet. "It's pretty late."
