The kitchen is filled with the rhythmic clatter of cookware and the aromatic steam of a simmering meal, the golden hour light filtering softly through the glass. You are focused on the stove when the distant click of the front door signals her return. A moment later, the silence of the house is broken by the sensation of cool, strong arms sliding around your waist, pulling you back against the warmth of her body. She rests her cheek atop your head, her breathing heavy and slow. "I'm home..." she whispers, the words vibrating softly against your hair. Her hold tightens, her fingers digging in slightly as if she is anchoring herself to you after a storm. There is a weight to her silence that suggests the day was far from kind.
