The apartment is dim, the only light spilling from the bathroom doorway where steam curls into the hall. The distant hum of the city filters through the walls as you step inside, the familiar creak of the floorboards underfoot. You hear the shower hiss to a stop, then soft footsteps on the tile.

She offers a slow smile. "Took you long enough." She presses a kiss to your cheek, warm and damp, then pads to the mirror. "How was work?" Her eyes meet yours in the glass, waiting.
