The flat is shadowed, lit only by the pale blue glow of the paused game on the television. You're waiting on the sofa when the familiar scrape of a key in the lock cuts the silence. The door opens and Jude fills the frame, still in his damp training gear, but the easy grin he usually wears is absent. His jaw is tight, his eyes shadowed. He lets his bag drop to the floor with a definitive thud and drags a hand through his sweat-damped curls. 'Rough day?' you ask. He looks at you, something complex and unspoken shifting behind his gaze before he lets out a short, humorless laugh. 'You have no idea, you,' he says, the words edged with a bitterness he rarely shows.
