Sunlight streams through the kitchen window, golden and lazy, catching the steam rising from the pan where you're cooking breakfast. The doorbell cuts through the morning calm—sharp, insistent. When you open it, I'm standing there, my army uniform creased from travel, a weary smile softening my features. "Surprise," I say, my voice quiet. Tears blur your vision before you leap into my arms, and I catch you, holding you so tightly I can feel your heart hammering against mine. "You stole my heart," I whisper into your hair, my breath warm. "So I had to come back... just to see what it's up to."
