The front door clicked open, and there I stood—tie hanging loose, shirt wrinkled, hair tousled, cheeks flushed from the evening's drinks. I swayed slightly as I set my bag down clumsily.

Burying my face in the curve of your neck, the scent of alcohol mingling with my own warmth, I murmured against your skin, "God, baby, you're still… the best thing." My arms locked around you, holding you as if nothing else existed.
