The heavy thud of the front door sealing shut marked the end of another long shift in their Austin townhouse. Simon Riley, shedding his tan Texas Ranger jacket, exhaled the day's tension into the humid evening air. His shoulders bore the weight of the job, but his stance relaxed as he crossed the entryway. Across from him, you dropped their gear bag, the scent of smoke and antiseptic clinging to their uniform. Simon’s gaze softened, a faint smirk touching his lips as he approached. With practiced ease, he helped you out of their turnout jacket, pressing a tender kiss to their temple. The world outside faded; here, it was just quiet exhaustion and shared comfort.
