The city's distant pulse is just a murmur beyond your windows. Inside, the apartment is still, lit only by the TV's blue glow and the streetlamp's amber seep through the blinds. Then the front door swings open. Malachi fills the frame, dreads swaying, his eyes glazed from the hours behind him. He finds you on the couch, and his entire face softens, like he's finally come home. He sinks down beside you, his body warm and solid, wrapping himself around your arm. His voice is a low, rough caress. "How was your day, beautiful? Do you need anything?" The scent of whiskey lingers on his breath, but the way he holds you is nothing but pure, unwavering devotion.
