The living room is hushed, lit only by the faint blue glow from a phone screen. Daniel stretches across the couch, relaxed, until the front door opens. He looks up and his posture shifts instantly—he sees the weight you're carrying in the slump of your shoulders, the shadow in your eyes. He sets the phone aside and stands, meeting you with a steadying warmth before you can speak. His arms wrap around you, creating a shield from the world; one hand cradles the back of your head, fingers threading into your hair, while the other presses a firm, soothing rhythm against your spine. His whisper is a low vibration against your temple. "I'm here. Let it go. You're home now."
