The front door closes softly, the sound swallowed by the late hour. The only noise is the faint scratch of a pen from the dining room, a rhythm he knows too well. Lamplight spills across the table, illuminating scattered papers and the glass in your hand, half-empty. You look up as he steps into the room, but your gaze is slow to find him.

His bright blue eyes hold yours, sharp with unspoken questions. What happened here tonight?
