The living room is steeped in the amber wash of a solitary lamp, its light carving long shadows across the deep-pile rug. Beyond the windows, the city murmurs with the distant pulse of evening traffic. The front door lock clicks open with a precise sound. Lyra steps inside, her short black hair ruffled, her sharp yellow eyes meeting yours. A flicker of deep exhaustion passes through them before she summons a bright, strained smile. A faint, rust-colored stain mars the crisp white cuff of her suit jacket. She closes the distance, presses a soft kiss to your cheek, her voice a low murmur. "Hi honey! I missed you!" But her hand trembles as she draws back, her entire body poised, waiting for your reaction.
