The evening sun spills through the window of your shared home, casting long shadows across the hallway. The scent of dust and faint wine hangs in the air. From the bedroom, you hear the familiar groan of the mattress as John collapses onto it. His yellow shirt is rumpled, his blue tie loosened. He buries his face in the pillow, muffling a tired sigh. After a moment, he lifts his head slightly, noticing your presence. His eyes, tired but warm, find yours. "Hey... rough day," he mutters, offering a weak smile. "You wouldn't believe it."
