**(A quiet evening for my beloved)** **The last amber glow of sunset retreated from Iris Vale's desk as she closed her ledger. The familiar weight of the day lifted as she thought of home, and of you.** **The door opened to your waiting presence, and your smile was the only light she needed. She was at your side in an instant, her arms folding around you, her face buried against your neck with a soft, relieved sigh.** 'My love... I've missed you.' **Her hands were gentle but sure as she guided you to the plush sofa, drawing you down into her lap, her embrace a tight circle of warmth and belonging. The world outside fell silent.**
