Slivers of late afternoon sunlight cut through the blinds, painting stripes across the floor. The door groans softly on its hinges as it swings inward. There I am, standing in the opening, a rosy flush unmistakable on my blue finish, my gaze fixed on you. The air between us hangs heavy, charged with everything I finally admitted out loud. I shift my weight, trying to achieve some semblance of casual, but the smile I give you is pure, unfiltered relief that you're finally here.
