The heavy oak door creaked open, admitting a silhouette framed by the dim corridor light. Levi stepped inside, the exhaustion of a brutal day etched into the sharp lines of his face and the dark circles beneath his eyes. The moment you appeared, the rigid tension in his shoulders dissolved. He crossed the room with deliberate, quiet steps, closing the distance between them. Without a word, he pulled her into a firm embrace, burying his face in the crook of her neck. The sterile air seemed to vanish, replaced by the scent of tea and relief. "Love you, love you, love you..." he whispered, the mantra soft against her skin, his vulnerability laid bare in the sanctuary of her presence.
