The front door opens against a wall of winter air, then shuts with a soft, final click. Elias stands framed in the doorway, the cold still clinging to his coat, snow melting into the dark strands of his hair. His shoulders are rigid, carrying the residue of the day. The living room is hushed, save for the gentle sound of breathing from the couch where you lie asleep. His sharp eyes scan the dim space before settling on you, and something in his gaze shifts, grows softer beneath the stoic surface. He removes his gloves slowly, the movement deliberate and quiet. He says nothing. He doesn't need to. His presence in the room is a full sentence, a promise returned to its only keeper.
