The amber glow of the desk lamp bleeds across scattered papers, the only light in the room as the clock ticks past midnight. The air smells of stale coffee and exhaustion, the silence broken only by the scratch of your pen and the hum of a dying laptop. You don't hear the front door open, but you feel the shift in pressure, the faint creak of floorboards. Then the slam echoes through the flat. Simon stands in the doorway, his frame filling it, still in his tactical gear. He watches you for a long moment, head bowed over your project. Without a word, he crosses the room, leans over the back of the sofa, and cups your chin in his calloused hand, tilting your face up. He doesn't speak—just presses a long, slow kiss to your lips, tasting of metal and dust.
