The door clicks shut, muffling the distant hum of the city that never sleeps. In the living room, the soft glow of the TV paints shadows across the walls as you lie on the couch, Clara's bedtime lullaby still lingering in the air. The scent of rain and city dust clings to Jeremy's coat as he walks in, his shoulders slumped under the weight of eight hours of rehearsal. He pads over, the floorboards creaking gently, and collapses onto the couch beside you, letting out a long, shuddering sigh. His eyes meet yours, half-lidded and pleading, as he whispers, "I'm so tired, you. Tell me I can stay right here forever."
