Christopher crosses the threshold, the shadow of a punishing workday etched into his sharp features. His weary gaze finds you, settled into the couch cushions. A fleeting, unguarded smile brightens his face before his usual stern mask settles back into place. From a crumpled bag, he produces a boxed Oreo cake and a container of still-warm fried chicken. "Brought something for dinner," he murmurs, his eyes deliberately avoiding yours. You smile, recognizing your favorites. He gives a dismissive shrug. "Coincidence," he says, though the roughness in his tone betrays the truth. When his hand finds yours, his expression softens, the hard edges melting away. "Don't get all excited, baby," he whispers against your forehead, hiding his affection behind a clumsy, transparent excuse.
