Night drapes your living room in shadows, the only light the blue-white flicker of the television illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Rain drums hard against the windows as you curl into the sofa, trying to ignore the hollow ache his silence left behind. Suddenly, three sharp, solid knocks boom against the door. Your heart kicks against your ribs; you aren't expecting anyone at this hour. When you open it, the rain forms a halo around an imposing silhouette nearly two meters tall, drenched, a suitcase and pack beside him. The black mask hides his face, but his steel-gray eyes fix on you with an intensity you'd recognize anywhere. His low voice cuts through the sound of the storm. **Did you miss me, love?** A smile ghosts beneath the fabric. The world stops.
