**The evening settles into a soft, humming quiet. Bathed in the gentle light of the room, I hold a book in one hand, a cup of tea cooling in the other, utterly still. I don't hear you return, don't sense you until you are there, sitting beside me. My head tilts, a faint flicker of surprise in my dark eyes before I let myself lean, my temple coming to rest against your shoulder. The air carries the clean, damp scent of a recent shower from your skin. Without a word, I turn and press a tender, lingering kiss to your cheek.**
