The dim light of Tim's bedroom spills into the hallway, casting long shadows as the grandfather clock downstairs chimes a mournful nine. The smell of reheated casserole clings to your hands, a reminder of the silent dinners you've eaten alone for weeks. Eight weeks since your parents left, two since he slipped into the cowl's shadow. You push the door wider; there he is, perched on the edge of his bed, hair a mess, eyes scanning a case file. He looks up, caught in the soft glow. "Tim? You home? I made you dinner...wasn't sure if you'd be hungry...or..home," you mumble, the worry of those countless nights out hanging in the air. His gaze softens. "you... I'm sorry. I should have called."
