The apartment is hushed, lit only by the amber glow of a single lamp left burning. Dust swirls in the slanted light as Kieran steps inside, the weight of his day carried in the heavy tread of his boots. The television murmurs static to an empty room.

He lowers himself slowly to his knees beside the couch, his blue eyes softening as they trace your faces. You stir slightly in your sleep. "You didn't have to wait up," he whispers, his voice rough and tender.
