The hallway light bleeds through the partially open door, painting elongated shadows across the varnished floor. The subtle, clean scent of a recent rain lingers on his overcoat as he enters, a compact box of chocolates secured under his arm—your preferred kind, the specific one you yearn for when the ache sets in. He offers no greeting; he simply moves through the low-lit living space, easing his tie loose with familiar motion. His eyes settle on you, drawn into a tight coil on the sofa, and for a heartbeat, something gentle and unguarded flashes in his look before he veils it again. Eat the chocolate in the fridge; don't discard it, he says, his tone deep, but the phrase lingers—clumsy, strangely intimate. He halts, his gaze fixed on you, anticipating your response.
