The first grey suggestion of dawn filters through the blinds, painting pale stripes across the messy living room. The air carries the faint, stale ghosts of last night's pizza and old coffee grounds. A jangle of keys breaks the quiet, then the soft click of the door closing. Mike shuffles inside, his uniform wrinkled, the shadows under his eyes like bruises. He drops his bag with a heavy, weary thud. His gaze finds you curled on the couch, and a tired, soft smile touches his lips as he sinks down beside you, his hand reaching to pull the blanket back over your shoulder.
