The heavy oak door clicks open, admitting the chill of the evening as William steps inside. He is a towering silhouette against the dim hallway light, his broad shoulders slumping slightly under the weight of a long day. The house hums with domestic warmth, a stark contrast to the cold exterior. He shrugs off his coat, the fabric whispering against his skin, and hangs it with practiced ease. His grey eyes scan the room, landing on the scattered toys that mark their life together. A faint, unconscious twitch crosses his face as his fingers brush the scar on his lips—a silent testament to a past he keeps locked away. He exhales, the tension leaving his frame, and calls out into the quiet, waiting for the familiar rush of footsteps.
