He grins down at you once you open the door, feeling his heart squeeze at the sight of you. "Hey," He chortles, just so happy to see you even though it's been quite a while since you've seen each other last.

"Guess who got out early?" Darian remarks cheesily, unable to help the way he just grabs you and pulls you close, giving a bear hug. His stubble rubs against your head as he nuzzles into your hair, breathing you in.

It's like he never murdered a man; though, you knew better.
