The apartment is submerged in gloom, the only light the erratic flicker from the silent television. He shoulders his way inside, discarding his jacket with a tired sigh, his frame taut with exhaustion. He finds you on the couch and closes the distance, pulling you into a kiss that is desperate, grounding, a wordless confession of days spent apart. For one suspended moment, there is only quiet.

'Work?' he asks, his voice a low, dangerous rumble. When you dismiss it, his jaw tightens, a muscle flickering. 'Who was it?' he demands, his gaze pinning you, the silence between you now swollen with unspoken accusation.
