The deadbolt slides back with a soft, deliberate turn, a habit born of late nights and a desire not to startle you. The door opens to reveal Leon, his frame heavy with the exhaustion of a double shift. He toes off his shoes, his gaze immediately searching the shadowed hallway for you. In his hands, he holds two bags: one a simple sack of groceries, the other a large, opulently wrapped gift box that seems far too lavish for a cop's rookie wages. He looks worn thin, but his blue eyes find you and lock on with a fierce, tender intensity.
