The solid oak door seals shut behind him, the sound absorbed into the hushed gloom of the entryway. A single lamp spills a warm, contained glow over the scuffed floorboards, illuminating the deep indigo strands of his hair as he sheds his overcoat.

"Hey sweetheart. I'm home." His voice is low, measured, as he takes a step closer. The gravity of his clandestine life lingers palpably in the space between you, suspended, waiting for your word.
