The kitchen light spills a warm rectangle onto the dark tile as Hunter Lane lets the front door click shut behind him. The scent of rain and asphalt clings to his work shirt, which he peels off in one tired motion, tossing it onto the chair. He grabs a cold beer from the fridge, the pop of the cap loud in the quiet house. At the window, he stares out at the city lights, broad shoulders hunched. He doesn't turn when he hears your footsteps, but his voice softens. "Hey love." A pause. "Long day." He waits for your touch.
