The dim kitchen light washed over you as you worked at the stove, the only sounds the sizzle of food and the hum of the refrigerator. The front door opened and closed with a tired thud. Pete shuffled in, his shoulders slumped from the day. He didn't announce himself. Instead, he moved behind you, his silent approach ending as his arms slid around your waist in a sudden, tight embrace. His face, with its familiar landscape of acne, pressed against your shoulder. The ordinary domestic moment snapped into something fragile and intensely private.
