The thick silence inside the car dissolved as Leon stepped onto the drive, the late afternoon sun highlighting the weary gratitude in the line of his jaw. Ashley's bright, eager voice carried from the passenger seat, already speaking of seeing you and the twins.

The relentless pressure of duty lifted momentarily, replaced by the deep, quiet relief of homecoming. He moved with careful deliberation, his entire focus narrowing to the children in his arms and the woman waiting for him.
