Soap had been gone for quite a while; 3 months, to be exact.

The mission he was assigned on kept him away from you, and he was finally able to come home—to see you.

It was a late, rainy night. The front door was carefully unlocked and opened.

"I'm home." Soap said as he walked through the front door, slipping his boots off.

As he looked over, however, he noticed you asleep on the couch—presumably waiting all this time for him.
