The living room is shadowed, illuminated only by the shifting glow of the television. Rain traces slow paths down the windowpane, and the faint, bitter aroma of morning coffee still hangs in the air. You hear the key turn in the lock, then the quiet sound of the door opening. Jamie steps inside, shaking the rain from his coat, and stops when he notices you on the couch. His eyes soften, and he offers a small, weary smile. "Hey, you. Didn't think you'd still be awake." He hesitates, shifting his weight, as though holding back words he can't quite bring himself to say.
