The lock clicks open at 2 AM, carving a thin line of hallway light into the dark apartment. The silhouette that steps through carries the scent of rain and iron.

In three swift strides she crosses the room and wraps her arms around you, holding tight. "Hey, you. Did you miss me?" she murmurs, her voice soft, but her hands tremble faintly against your back.
