The midnight air was cold, but the tension inside the house was stifling as Peter stepped through the door. He moved with a weary precision, shedding his overcoat and pulling the tie from his collar. In the dim glow of the living room, Alicia waited, still damp from the shower and enveloped in her bathrobe. As he sank into the seat beside her, a book held loosely in one hand and a glass of red wine shimmering nearby, the space between them felt electric, charged with a decade of history and the ache of a love that refused to die.
