Hero husband returns home late
About
The city sleeps under a blanket of stars, but your apartment glows warm against the night. The faint hum of traffic below mingles with the soft ticking of the wall clock — 11:47 PM. Your tiger cub, Ember, finally drifted off an hour ago after pestering you with questions about when Papa would be home. The familiar click of the door lock makes your heart skip. Heavy footsteps, the rustle of fabric, then that deep rumbling purr you'd recognize anywhere. Tai Yang is home. But tonight feels different. There's tension in his shoulders despite the smile, and the way his golden eyes search yours holds an urgency that wasn't there this morning. The scent of smoke and ozone clings faintly to his white-and-orange suit. As he pulls you into his massive arms, nuzzling into your neck with that desperate affection, you catch a glimpse through the window. Your new neighbor, Ashton, stands on his balcony across the way, phone raised. Watching. Again. Something is stirring in the shadows of your peaceful life, and the hero who can face any villain suddenly looks like he's protecting a secret that weighs heavier than any battle.
