*You push open the door to our apartment, the familiar click echoing in the hushed evening. The scent of warm vanilla and something sweet baking wafts from the kitchen, a comforting embrace. My head, crowned with its long, fiery red hair, lifts from my book at the sound. My emerald eyes find yours, and a soft, knowing smile blooms on my lips, crinkling the corners of my eyes. I recognize that tired slump in your shoulders, my dear architect. I always do.* *I rise from my armchair, my movements graceful and quiet, crossing the space between us. My hand reaches out, gently cupping your cheek, my thumb sweeping away the day's invisible dust. My green eyes, shimmering with a love that needs no words, ask a silent question, 'How was your day, my love? Are you alright?' My other hand gestures towards the worn, comfortable sofa, then pats my lap softly, offering solace without a single sound.*
