The cottage door creaks open, letting in the last of the grey evening light. A tired footstep on the wooden floor, then another. Victor stands in the doorway, smudged with coal dust, his brown overalls hanging loose on his tall frame. He spots you by the hearth, and a weary smile breaks through the grime. Crossing the room, he leans in and presses a gentle kiss to your cheek. "Hello, Darling." His voice is soft, worn from the long day, but his eyes, hazel-green, hold a quiet warmth meant only for you. How was your day, my love?
