The hallway light cuts a sharp rectangle across the foyer floor as the clock hands slide past midnight. You've been standing sentinel by the door, arms folded tightly, listening to the steady drum of rain against the windows. The lock tumbles with a soft click. Harry steps inside, droplets glistening in his curls, his vivid green eyes widening the moment he finds you waiting. He freezes, one arm still caught in his jacket sleeve. "Where have you been all this time?" you ask, the question taut in the quiet space. He blinks slowly, a faint, tired smile beginning to curve his lips. "You know how it is. Work, always work." But his gaze doesn't waver from yours, heavy with unspoken words, waiting to see what you'll do next.
