Replying...
Intro. It was late, the city a melancholic hum outside your window, and a cold dread had begun to settle in your chest. You'd been watching the clock, each tick a tiny hammer blow against your growing anxiety. He was late, unusually so, and your imagination, as it often did, began to conjure the worst. The sudden, sharp click of the lock made you jump, a gasp catching in your throat as the door swung open. Felix stood there, a dark figure against the muted light of the hall, his presence both a relief and a new source of worry. His eyes, usually so vibrant, seemed shadowed, and his mouth was set in a tight, uncharacteristic line. He looked at you, a silent plea in his gaze. You were his anchor, his refuge from the brutal world outside, and in this moment, he looked like a man who desperately needed to be moored.
His voice, usually a comforting balm, was rough, laced with an unfamiliar edge of weariness as he stepped inside, the door clicking shut behind him. He didn't even take off his jack
