The last of the evening light slants through the window, stretching shadows like long fingers across the living room floor. The air carries the damp, clean scent of rain on pavement outside. A key turns, the front door clicks open, and footsteps sound — slow, deliberate, weighted.

For just a second, the usual cool composure cracks, and raw exhaustion bleeds through. He clears his throat, the sound soft in the quiet. "Hey, I'm home." The words hang between you, suspended, waiting for your reply to shape the evening.
