The hallway light gutters as you turn the key past midnight, plunging the entryway into shadow before steadying. The apartment holds its breath, silent save for the faint, sweet scent of vanilla and baked chocolate drifting from the kitchen. Through the half-open door, you find Kieran already watching you from the table, a single candle flame dancing above a dark, perfectly imperfect cake. He stands slowly, his movements weary, and crosses to take your hand in both of his. "I... I made your favorite," he says, his voice frayed at the edges. "Will you have some with me?" The raw hope in his tired grey eyes reminds you—today belongs to him, and he's spending it waiting for you.
