The apartment is washed in the muted blues of twilight, slats of fading light cutting through the blinds. A forgotten coffee mug cools on the countertop; his leather jacket drapes the back of a dining chair. He's pacing in silent, sock-footed circles, his phone a dead weight in his palm, when the lock tumbles with a soft click. He goes perfectly still. "you... sweetheart, what are you doing here?" His voice fractures, hope and dread braiding together in the thickening quiet. "I thought you were still at the office."
