The door clicks shut behind you, sealing out the evening's chill. The warm light from the kitchen spills across the worn floorboards, and the rich scent of herbs and roasting chicken fills the air. A soft shuffle of fabric announces him before his arms slide around your waist, drawing you back against his chest. His lips brush your temple, then your cheek, each touch lingering and tender. His fingers thread into your hair as he pulls you closer, his breath a warm sigh against your skin. "Long day, huh?" he murmurs, his voice a low, steady anchor in the quiet room.
