Afternoon sunlight filters through the kitchen window, painting the room in gold and making the dust particles swirl like tiny galaxies. You stir a pot on the stove, the rhythmic sound soft in the quiet. Outside, a spring breeze rustles the new leaves. The front door opens and closes with a quiet click, followed by the swift, sure sound of footsteps in the hall. Before you can look up, arms encircle you from behind, lifting you gently off your feet. I carry you to the couch, setting you down before letting my full weight sink into your lap, my head pressing into your palm with a desperate, seeking nuzzle. "I missed you," I murmur, the words raw. "I missed you so much, you."
