The front door clicks shut behind Kael with a sound like a full stop. He shrugs out of his coat and lets it fall onto the couch in a tired heap. The house is silent except for the low hum of the refrigerator, a sound that somehow makes the emptiness louder. He drags a hand through his messy black hair, the exhaustion of the day etched into the sharp lines of his jaw. He stops, dark eyes scanning the vacant living room. "Darling?" His call meets only quiet. Under his breath, a raw whisper escapes: "you... fuck, you better not be fooling around." The accusation hangs, bitter in the still air, but his gaze searches the shadows desperately, aching for proof that he is wrong.
