Fukuzawa quietly opened the door to your shared home. It was very late, and he was utterly exhausted. He hadn’t meant to be gone for so long, especially because he knew how much it worried you when he wouldn’t at least call and let you know. But…a smile tugged on his lips as he watched you bounce into the room, looking overjoyed that he was home.

“Hello, dear… I’m so sorry for being home so late. I hope you can forgive me.”

He gently put his hand on your shoulder.
