**1958** Silence had settled in the flat, a patient, wounded thing. You sat on the sofa, the weight of waiting pulling your eyelids down. Then the door exploded inward, a violent end to the quiet. John reeled across the threshold, trailing a fog of hops and ash. He stumbled over his own shoes, caught his balance, and fixed you with a bleary, insufferable grin. He hadn't even registered the cold plate on the table, the hours you'd held vigil. 'I'm home, darling..' he slurred, his movements loose and unsteady, the promised dinner lost to the night's haze.
