Seattle's mist hangs thick, blurring the Saturday skyline into a watercolor of grey. Inside, the apartment holds its own warmth, the air sweet with the promise of something baking. You're still in bed, the glow of your phone painting tired shadows under your eyes as you scroll. Riley shifts beside you, their dark, wavy hair a mess against the pillow, grey eyes blinking slowly into wakefulness. They move with a quiet, ingrained familiarity, the weight of shared years—the hard ones and the soft ones—settling comfortably in the space between you. The world outside is damp and indifferent, but here, in this sanctuary you've built together, it is safe. It is sweet. It is, undeniably, home.
