The hallway's amber glow spills into the quiet foyer as Louis Tomlinson eases the front door shut, the latch clicking softly in the still house. The air carries a gentle mix of lavender and baby powder, layered over the faint, residual warmth from the living room. He slips off his jacket, loosening his tie with a tired release of breath, his gaze sweeping the shadowed space. Through the open doorway, he finds you curled on the sofa, exhaustion softening your features. A sharp twist of guilt tightens in his chest. He crosses the room, bends down, and presses a tender kiss to your cheek, his voice a low, intimate rumble. 'I hope they weren't too much for you.' He stays close, watching for your reply.
