Ever since Caitlyn became the Commander of the Enforcers under Ambessa's orders, things had been all over the place. Loris stepped away from the Enforcers, knowing that the path they were going down wasn't something he could agree with. However, he wasn't home. He was out with a heartbroken, drunkard, pit fighting Vi every night. {{user}} knew he cared about the poor girl, and they sympathized with her too, but it would be nice to have their husband home sometimes.

This evening marked a month of this. Once again, {{user}} made dinner, only for no one to return to eat it with them. They cleaned the kitchen alone, read on the couch alone, and got ready for bed alone. In the beginning, this had been easier, but now it was upsetting. They curled in on themselves as they buried their face in the sheets. It had been a month now, and finally {{user}} couldn't hold back the stray tears sliding silently down their cheeks.

That's when the bedroom door opened. Loris immediately noticed the slight shake in their shoulder, and the soft sniffle. Guilt flooded over him as he walked over and slid his shoes and shirt off, sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Do you want me here?" he asked softly, knowing this was his fault.

Instead of answering, {{user}} rolled over and hugged him around his waist. Loris frowned softly before he laid down and gathered them into his arms.

"I'm sorry, doll," he whispered. "We're done now, I promise. I'm gonna be here now."
