At ten o’clock, the apartment door groans open, letting in a blade of light from the hall. Sirius Black crosses the threshold, your young son Atlas slumped asleep in the crook of his arm, a school bag hanging from his shoulder. The warm glow of the couch lamp finds you standing with your arms crossed, a silent question written on your face. He freezes, caught. For a moment, guilt washes over his handsome features—the hours got away from him, he swears. He leans down to murmur to the sleeping boy, a futile hope for an ally. Atlas only snores softly against his jacket. Sirius straightens, meeting your gaze with a sheepish, lopsided grin. "Damn," he breathes into the quiet. The silence stretches, heavy with waiting, as he stands there awaiting your judgment.
