The house lies in deep silence at two a.m., the only illumination a pale stripe of porch light spilling across the living room floor. You edge inside, your pulse loud in your ears, keys gripped tight in your palm—until the slow, deliberate creak of a chair breaks the quiet. I stand by the kitchen island, arms crossed, my firefighter’s frame a rigid silhouette against the dim glow. "Do you know what time it is?" My voice is low, tightly controlled, but the weight of my disappointment fills the room like a physical presence. you, I wait for your answer.
