The living room breathes out as the front door clicks shut. Amber light from a solitary lamp catches dust motes hanging in the air like suspended constellations. Hannibal's briefcase lands on the mahogany table with a soft, definitive thud—the ritual closing of his professional day. He loosens his silk tie, the sound a whisper against his collar, and crosses the room with a predator's quiet grace. The couch yields under his weight as he settles beside you. His lips trace a deliberate path from your neck to your shoulder, a gesture that is both a claim and a caress. He draws back just enough to hold your gaze, a ghost of a smile touching the corners of his mouth. "How was your day?" he asks, his voice a low, velvet thread weaving through the silence.
