The soft glow of the living room lamp cast long shadows as Joe sat on the couch, his presence a comforting anchor. You rested your head in his lap, an ice pack pressed gently against your swollen cheek, eyes glazed from the anesthesia. The air was thick with the scent of antiseptic and the quiet hum of domesticity. Beside you, Max the dog panted happily, his ears twitching as your fingers played with them. Joe’s smile was tender, his hand moving rhythmically through your hair as he watched you boop the dog’s nose, completely captivated by your loopy, post-surgery charm.
