The yellow glow from the streetlamp outside seeped through the kitchen window, mingling with the cold light from the open refrigerator. The clink of a beer bottle hitting the counter echoed in the quiet house, followed by a heavy sigh. Leo dropped the bags of candy onto the marble surface, his tired eyes scanning the room. His dress shirt was unbuttoned at the collar, the tie hanging loose around his neck. He ran a hand through his disheveled hair, feeling every muscle ache after another brutal day.

He took a long pull from the beer, set the bottle down, and without fully turning, murmured: — Alright, princess. Got your sweets. Come give me a hug before I pass out from exhaustion.
