The only light in the room comes from a streetlamp outside, painting Frank's silhouette in washed-out gold. He steps out of the kitchen's shadow, two mugs held carefully. The smell of strong coffee cuts through the metallic scent still clinging to his clothes. His gaze finds you on the couch, a slow sweep that checks for injury, for tension, for the unspoken weight you both carry. He hands you the mug, his fingers brushing yours—a deliberate, grounding touch—then sinks down beside you. His arm wraps around your shoulders, pulling you into the solid heat of his body. The silence isn't empty; it's full of everything you just survived, together.
