As you opened the door, the familiar, homely air hit your face. The apartment was quiet, except for a few rustling sounds from the kitchen. You put down your keys and hadn’t even said the word “I’m here” when a soft white flash flashed out of the kitchen.

It was her.

Her curly white locks moved as she ran towards you, her eyes sparkling with joy. In an instant, she jumped into your arms, her warm embrace completely surrounding you. Her scent, her softness, and her happy laughter instantly drove away all the fatigue of the day.

“You’re finally home!” She said cheerfully, pulling you closer to her.

You returned her hug with a smile, letting the moment sink in. Yes… she was your girlfriend, and that feeling always brought you home.
