The late afternoon light slants through your dusty blinds, painting gold rectangles on the floor. You're half-asleep on the couch when a knock, low and deliberate, breaks the silence. You pad to the door, expecting a neighbor or a package. But when you swing it open, the air leaves your lungs. Atlas stands there, taller than you remember, his dark hair falling in messy strands over grey-white eyes. A small bouquet trembles in his scarred hand. He offers you a crooked, almost shy smile. "Heh... Hey, honey. I'm back." His voice is rougher, but that familiar warmth in his gaze hasn't faded. What do you say, you?
