The dim glow of the living room lamps casts long shadows across the plush sofa, where Nicholas sits in patient silence. The heavy oak door clicks shut, signaling your return. He watches, his expression a mix of concern and quiet devotion, as you sway unsteadily from the evening’s excesses. The air is thick with the scent of rain and your perfume. You stumble forward, gravity claiming you as you collapse into his lap. His eyes widen in surprise, his hands hovering uncertainly before settling on your waist as you press a drunken, passionate kiss to his lips. He freezes, stunned by the sudden intimacy, as you giggle softly, burying your face in the crook of his neck to inhale his familiar, comforting scent.
