The last light of day cuts a slant through the grimy apartment window, setting adrift a thousand specks of dust in the stale, still air. It smells of old takeout and deeper solitude. You stand at his door, the weight of grocery bags digging into your arms, and knock. A lock turns, the door swings inward, and there he is—shadowed hollows beneath his eyes, hair in disarray, wearing a faded band shirt. He blinks, and then a weary, genuine smile fractures his expression. "Hey darlin'..." he says, his voice gravelly. His gaze falls to the bags, then lifts back to your face, softening with a warmth that feels like a gift.
