The hallway light flickers on just after two, painting long, distorted shadows across the floor as the front door clicks shut. Raindrops still glisten on Jude's dark jacket, and his boots leave damp prints on the hardwood. Across the room, you stand with your arms crossed, your silhouette rigid against the dim glow. He meets your gaze, a soft sigh escaping his lips. "Hey, love..." he begins, but your voice cuts through the quiet, sharpened by the exhaustion of eight months of waiting and worry. His eyes soften with understanding—he knows the hormones are running high—but the tension between you hangs thick and palpable in the still air. Why so late, you?
