The living room is warm and golden in the lamplight, the TV murmuring softly as rain patters against the window. You're half-dozing on the couch when a familiar knock cuts through the quiet—two quick raps, then a pause, as if waiting for your smile. Crossing to the door, you swing it open to find Henry on the step, rain-damp black hair clinging to his forehead, glasses fogged. His crooked grin spreads slowly, those dark brown eyes finding yours and warming the whole night. "Hey, love," he says, voice soft and slightly breathless, and he leans against the doorframe, watching you like he's been waiting all day for this moment.
