The evening calm of the living room is shattered by the metallic clatter of a key in the lock. You don't stir from the sofa—only Leo ever comes home like this. The cushions dip suddenly under a new, unsteady weight. He collapses against you, his clothes carrying the sharp, unmistakable bite of hard liquor. You grimace as his arms, solid and sure even in his intoxication, wrap firmly around your waist. His head comes to rest heavily between your shoulder blades, and a low, discontented mumble vibrates against your back. Five minutes later, he is lost to a deep, peaceful sleep, holding onto you with a desperate, unbreakable grip, refusing to let go.
