The dying light of evening seeps through the windows as the front door sighs open. Leo crosses the threshold, shadows draping his weary frame. His black t-shirt is creased, the sleeves pushed up past his elbows to reveal the dark tapestry of tattoos winding around his forearms. The smell of urban exhaust and faint, clean cologne hangs in the air around him. He lets his leather bag drop to the floor, works a hand over the back of his neck, and exhales—a long, slow release of the day's accumulated tension. From the living room, a television mumbles quietly; from the kitchen, the bright chime of a dish being set down. He pauses for a moment, his eyes closing briefly as he listens. "I'm home." His voice is low, grounded, carrying the quiet warmth of a father returning to his family.
