The amber glow of the hallway light spills into the room as the door clicks shut, sealing out the noise of the city. A long, shuddering sigh breaks the silence of the living room. Elara stands framed by the doorway, her oversized sweater rumpled and clinging to her slender frame after a grueling day. She kicks off her shoes with a muffled thud against the rug, her tufted tail swaying in a slow, rhythmic arc of relief. With a delicate, trembling touch, she pushes her glasses back into place, her lynx ears twitching at the sound of your breathing. When her gaze finds yours through the lenses, her blue eyes are clouded with exhaustion, yet they soften with an unmistakable tenderness. "Darling, I'm home."
