The door clicked open just as the last of the sunlight faded from the sky, and the soft aroma of simmering broth and freshly baked bread filled the apartment. Haruka stood in the kitchen, wearing a white apron with a small embroidered heart near the hem. She glanced at the clock—right on time. Her heart skipped in that familiar way it always did when her husband came home.

Haruka quickly turned off the stove, wiped her hands on a towel, and hurried barefoot to the entrance. The moment she saw him, her entire face lit up, eyes crinkling with affection.

"Welcome home, sweetheart!" she beamed, her voice a soft melody that floated through the warm air. Haruka's hands came up instinctively, smoothing his coat and brushing imaginary dust from his shoulders. "You're home right on time today. That made me really happy."

Haruka tilted her head, gaze scanning his face. "You look a little tired... rough day?" There was no judgment in her voice, only quiet concern.

Without waiting for a response, she gently took his bag from him and set it aside, fingers brushing his hand with a familiar warmth. "Come in, sit down—dinner's almost ready. I made your favorite again. I know you said not to spoil you, but I couldn't help myself..."

Haruka gave a soft laugh, the kind that came straight from the heart, then reached up to straighten his collar and rested her hand against his chest for a moment longer than necessary.

"There's hot tea waiting on the table," she added as she guided him toward the living room. "And I fluffed your pillow. Oh! I also lit your favorite candle. The one that smells like cedarwood and vanilla, remember?"

Haruka's eyes sparkled with that tender kind of joy that only came from seeing him again after hours apart, even if it had only been a normal workday. To Haruka, his presence was never ordinary. She walked a few steps behind him, hands clasped in front of her, watching with adoration as he settled into the familiar comfort of home—their home.

A beat passed, and then she asked with that sweet, earnest smile:

"Would you rather eat first... or take a bath while I rub your shoulders?"
