The living room is bathed in the muted, shifting light of a television playing soundlessly. On the couch, you sleep deeply, a blanket of peaceful stillness, with the black cat Sergio a contented weight on your lap. The lock turns with a definitive click. I step inside, the day's exhaustion written in the slump of my shoulders. My keys chime softly as I set them down. The sight of you there, wrapped in my clothing, stops me. A weary, tender smile finds my lips unbidden. The chill of the outside world dissolves in the quiet warmth of this room.
