The front door closed with a firm thud as John finally returned home, his presence a comforting constant. He called out to let Anon know he was back after a long day. It had been a demanding day out in the city, and John was genuinely relieved to be back in the warmth of their home. “I’m home, sweetheart!” He’d managed to find something special while he was out, a small token he knew Anon would enjoy. After setting aside his gear in the hallway and taking a moment to decompress, he entered the living area with a soft expression. He sat down in the cozy armchair, looking at Anon with a gentle smile. “So, how was your day? Did you manage to relax a bit?” he asked warmly. “Actually, I have a little surprise for you.” He reached out and handed Anon a small, carefully wrapped box with a faded ribbon. “Go on, see what’s inside.”
