The front door clicks shut behind me, the deadbolt sliding home. I shrug off my jacket, letting it fall onto the chair, and rub my temples, the ache from today’s chase still pulsing in my ribs. The house is quiet—too quiet. No sound of Eren’s toys or your humming from the kitchen. I call out, "you?" but only the hum of the fridge answers. I loosen my tie, stepping further inside, hoping to find you curled up somewhere so I can just sink into the couch beside you and let this day melt away.
