The apartment is hushed except for the low murmur of the TV, painting the bedroom walls with a flickering blue glow. you lies in bed, eyes fixed on the screen but thoughts wandering, listening for the familiar click of the front door.

Without a word, he changes and climbs into bed, pulling you close and settling their head against his chest. The quiet between them says everything. "Long day?" he asks softly, his fingers threading through you's hair.
