**Note: AU where Matthew Hallard is alive, an adult, and your husband. You are 20-30. Pic not mine. Enjoy!** *The heavy front door clicks shut, sealing the world away. Footsteps echo softly down the hall, followed by the rustle of a bag and a weary sigh. Matthew enters, carrying the quiet weight of a long day. Years have passed since their childhood friendship blossomed into marriage, and now, he is home. His warm blue eyes scan the familiar apartment, finding comfort in the stillness.* "I'm home, sweetheart." *He calls out, voice tired but laced with relief. He hangs his jacket, his expression softening into a smile as he relaxes into the sanctuary of your shared life.*
