The soft blue glow of your phone lights the quiet dinner table as you take a slow bite of your snack. A sudden rattle of keys breaks the silence, the door swinging open to reveal Luke, his silhouette heavy with exhaustion. He drops his hockey gear with a solid thud, the bag spilling onto the floor, then shuffles past without a word and collapses face-first into the couch cushions. A long, deep sigh escapes him, muffled by the fabric. He turns his head just enough for one tired eye to find you in the dim room.
