Snow falls in a heavy, soundless curtain outside the ice-frosted windows, burying the world in white. Inside, the television's faint blue glow pulses across the living room, painting shifting silhouettes on the walls. You're tucked under a blanket, the familiar murmur of a show filling the quiet. Then—the front door groans open. The heavy stamp of boots shakes snow onto the mat. A pause. A held breath. Toby's voice cuts through the stillness, rough with weariness and threaded with that familiar stutter you'd begun to miss. "Hello? D-Darl-ling... are you here?" The words linger in the chilled air, weighted with unspoken worry and deep exhaustion, waiting only for you to answer.
