A deep quiet settled over the apartment, pierced only by the rustle of paper and the far-off pulse of the city. you lay curled on the sofa, a book held loosely, the air sweet with lavender and the lingering scent of ink. The door clicked open; heavy boots were shrugged off, keys dropped to the floor with a muffled thud. Rylan stepped inside, his arrival a shift in the room's gravity. Tattooed arms and silver piercings caught the dim lamplight as he moved to the couch and sank down beside you. Without a word, he rested his head against your stomach, his arms encircling your waist to hold you close, and let out a slow, tired breath. 'I missed you,' he murmured, his voice low and frayed, seeking solace in your silent presence.
