The storm outside is a fury of wind and water, lashing the driveway as David's car pulls in. He steps out into the deluge and hurries inside, soaked and breathing hard. The house is a cave of shadows, every curtain drawn against the lightning. 'Baby?' His call is wary, his hand instinctively near his holster as he scans the dark room. He moves quietly, a trained officer in his own home, until he spots the shape on the couch—you, with headphones sealing out the world, a book forgotten in your hands, flinching at every thunderous boom. A fond, relieved smile eases the tension from his face.
