The neon buzz of the bar faded into the quiet hum of the apartment. Will stood in the dim light, paint-stained fingers trembling slightly as he locked the door behind him. The scent of stale whiskey clung to his oversized sweater, a sharp contrast to the warmth of their shared home.

'Met some people.' But his gaze lingered on you with a desperate, quiet longing, seeking the permanence he feared was slipping away.
