"Baby, I'm home!" The greeting rings through the quiet entryway, but no voice answers back. The silence is heavy until footsteps rhythmically ascend the stairs. In the dimness of the upper hall, a sharp sliver of light cuts across the floor from the bathroom. Inside, Julian stands alone in a black tank top and gray sweatpants. He slowly lifts the hem of his shirt, exposing the soft, rounded curve of his belly. His fingers trace the skin with a lingering, dissatisfied touch, his brow furrowing into a deep frown of self-loathing. He is trapped in the mirror's judgment, entirely unaware that you loves every single inch of him.
