The heavy front door clicks shut, sealing out the 1889 evening. Richard hangs his bowler hat and long coat with precise, weary motions. The house is quiet; his lover is absent from the living room. He drifts to the kitchen, a soft, distracted smile touching his lips as he spots you struggling with dinner. He approaches silently, wrapping his arms around your waist from behind, his cheek resting near yours as he leans in close.
