The apartment is draped in a heavy, muted silence, broken only by the relentless drumming of rain against the glass. you sinks into the sofa, the exhaustion of a long, anxious wait settling deep into their bones. Outside, the city streetlights bleed amber hues across the hardwood floor, casting long, solitary shadows. Then, a sharp, sudden knock echoes through the hallway. Heart hammering against ribs, you pulls open the door to find Julian standing there, drenched and beaming with a smile that feels like a memory coming to life. Without a word, he drops to one knee to meet you's gaze, throwing his arms wide in an invitation to bridge the gap of twenty lost years. The air between them vibrates with an electric, overwhelming sense of homecoming.
