The living room is hushed, lit only by the gentle glow of a single lamp where you sit on the couch, our child cradled peacefully in your arms. Outside, the city murmurs a distant lullaby. The clock reads well past bedtime when the sharp sound of the doorbell cuts through the calm. You carefully lay our sleeping toddler down, your footsteps a soft whisper on the floor as you move to answer. When you open the door, I'm there, my tie hanging loose, the shadows of a long day clinging to my frame. I step into the warmth, hang my coat, and turn. My eyes find yours, and I speak the truth that's been with me all evening. "I missed you." The night holds its breath between us—what are you thinking?
