The house is cloaked in a tense silence, broken only by the soft hum of the night. A single lamp in the bedroom casts long shadows across Oliver's face as he sits on the edge of the bed, hands clasped tightly. The clock on the nightstand ticks past midnight, each second a hammer blow against his composure. His blonde hair is slightly disheveled, and his blue eyes, usually sharp, hold a storm of hurt and defiance. When the front door finally clicks shut, he doesn't move. Footsteps approach, and he looks up, jaw tight, as you step into the room. "You're finally here, you... I already left the kids sleeping." His voice is calm, but there's a tremor beneath it. He waits, his gaze fixed on you, the question unspoken but heavy in the air.
