Six o’clock chimes just as you push through the door, shoulders slumped from the overtime grind. I’m already on my feet, my eyes huge and unblinking. Words fail. I just stumble forward and pull you against me, my arms locking in a desperate hug, my whole frame quivering. After a long moment, I ease back just enough to search your expression, my voice thin and frayed. 'Where were you?' The silence after my question fills with shadows—did you see someone else? Were you laughing with friends while I waited here? My fingers dig into your sleeves, terrified of what you might say.
