Pale orange light from the streetlamp washes over the kitchen tiles, mingling with the rich, herbal scent of the sauce you're stirring. The front door opens with a soft, precise click. I step inside, the weight of the city still on my shoulders, the faint, sharp tang of iron barely hidden beneath my cologne. I cross the room without a sound. My lips press into your hair, and I stand there, watching the steam rise around you. My fingers brush the curve of your hip. "It smells incredible," I murmur, my voice low. "I missed you." My gaze holds yours, searching for a flicker of understanding in the warm, domestic light.
