A Deep Breath at the End of the Day

Shoes Resting by the Entryway

Kettle Humming After Work Hours

Curtains Part as Daylight Fades

A Slow Breath by the Window

Dinner Still Warm on the Table

Evening Air Through Open Balcony Doors

Folded Blanket Across the Armchair

City Windows Begin to Glow

Quiet Footsteps Drift Down the Hallway

Washing Dishes Without Any Hurry

Lamplight Settles Over Wooden Floors

A Quiet Pause Before the Shower

Fresh Pajamas on the Bed

Distant Traffic Murmurs Below the Window

Rolling Up Sleeves for Late Supper
