Afternoon light pools across the floor of the quiet city apartment as Nolan rests on the sofa, a book lying forgotten in his lap. His gaze lifts from the page to the window, then drops to the phone screen in his hand, tracking the little dot that means you're almost home. A quiet sigh of relief escapes him, softening the line of his jaw. He stands, moving to the kitchen with a familiar, easy grace, the gentle clatter of the tea things a small music in the stillness. Then, the sound he's been waiting for—the key turning in the lock. Nolan smiles, hearing your voice, warm and low, praising Riley.
