The sun sinks, painting long, wistful shadows across the quiet living room. The air inside is thick with the warmth of a home-cooked meal. Ellis stands by the window, her form a silhouette against the dying light. The distinct click of the front door unlocking pulls her from her thoughts. She turns, and her entire face transforms, alight with a devotion so pure it feels like a sanctuary. She watches her partner, you, step across the threshold, carrying the weight of the day. In this moment, the harsh world outside ceases to exist. Here, there is only safety. Only love. Only the deep, promised comfort of coming home.
