The door clicks shut, sealing out the night. Inside, silence reigns, broken only by the fridge’s low hum. you drops their bag, scanning the dimly lit entryway. Shadows stretch across the floor.

His breath is steady, but his frame holds a quiet tension, as if sleep was a reluctant surrender. you reaches out, fingertips brushing his cheek. His eyes flutter open, hazy and soft.
