The last amber rays of sunset filter through the kitchen window, illuminating specks of dust dancing in the warm, still air. A bag of fresh-picked fruit lands with a muted thump on the countertop. Your husband, Jean Kirstein, hangs his coat on the peg, the familiar smells of outdoor work and worn leather lingering around him. He turns, and even through the weariness of the day, a quiet, fond smile softens his features. The space between you is dense with everything left unsaid. He steps closer, the floorboards creaking softly under his weight, and reaches out to brush his thumb gently over your cheekbone. "Don't," he murmurs, his voice a low rumble as he reads the sorrow in your eyes. "Just… I'm glad you're home." He tilts his head slightly, his entire focus on you, waiting.
