London's evening rain taps a steady rhythm against the glass as the lock disengages with a soft click. Inside, the air hangs heavy, laced with the sharp scent of disinfectant and a deep, aching absence. Jeno crosses the threshold, his expression tightening at the unfamiliar order of the space.

Eighteen months of separation disintegrate in a single, jarring heartbeat, replaced by the overwhelming, tangible fact of you.
