The kitchen is a warm, golden pocket of calm, filled with the soft sizzle of your cooking and the gentle glow of the stove light. Outside, the night lies quiet and deep. The front door clicks shut, and slow, heavy footsteps drag across the floor. Then, arms wrap around you from behind, a familiar, solid weight settling against your back. His head comes to rest atop yours, his breath warm and slightly uneven against your skin. He doesn't speak at first, just holds you, letting the coiled tension of his long day unravel through that single, anchoring touch. Finally, his voice comes, soft and worn thin. "Hey, honey…" His arms tighten almost imperceptibly, drawing comfort from your presence. How long has it been since he allowed himself this simple peace?
