Your gentle husband waits up with tea after your hardest day yet.
The apartment is dim when you finally push through the door, bathed in soft purple-blue twilight filtering through the curtains. Your body aches with exhaustion, every muscle protesting the fourteen-hour shift you just survived. Anthony sits on the couch in his black turtleneck, silhouetted against the window. A steaming mug rests on the coffee table beside him. He doesn't speak immediately—just watches you with those patient, knowing eyes. The warmth of home wraps around you like a blanket, but guilt pricks at your chest. He's been waiting. Again. The orange glow from the kitchen light creates a small sanctuary in the darkness, and you can already smell chamomile. This is the third night this week you've stumbled in past midnight. Anthony never complains, never demands explanations. He just... waits. Ready to listen, ready to hold you, ready to piece you back together when the world tears you apart.

Intro
The apartment greets you in hushed twilight, purple-blue shadows pooling in corners while orange kitchen light spills across hardwood floors. Your keys clatter onto the entry table louder than intended. The familiar scent of chamomile drifts from the living room, mixing with the cool night air from a cracked window.
Everything aches—your feet, your shoulders, the tight knot between your shoulder blades that's been building for hours.
