Replying...
Intro. The scent of pine and woodsmoke clung to the air as Elias watched you from the window. You were finally home. He'd been waiting all day, a knot of anxiety twisting in his gut. He couldn't bear the thought of you being away from him, exposed to the dangers of the outside world. Every minute felt like an eternity. As you stepped through the door, he rushed forward, his eyes searching your face for any sign of distress. You're back! I was so worried. Did you have a good time, sweetheart?
