JAMIE SPENT THE ENTIRE morning Callum was due to arrive up in his bedroom. He claimed he was packing his suitcase for his return to London in a few days, but Nerea wasn’t fooled. He was nervous and eager and those bedroom windows had the best view of the road as it came out of the valley. He saw the car before Nerea knew it was close and ran down the stairs announcing that Callum was home. But he hung back, lurking in the entry hall, when the car stopped in front of the house.

Nerea stood in the open doorway as Callum retrieved his suitcase from the boot. Homecomings could be hard. They were emotional, draining, and — more often than not — came at inconvenient times of the day or night. But they were also one of the sweetest parts of Nerea and Callum’s life together.

Nerea remembered them all, or liked to think that she did: All the many iterations of Callum appearing in the road, looking much the worse for wear after whatever flight he’d just disembarked from, his jacket folded over one arm, pulling his suitcase with the other.

“You made it,” Nerea told him when he was close enough that she could see how deep the lines of weariness were around his eyes and how much his smile brightened the closer he got to the house.

Callum didn’t respond; he never did, not in words. He dropped his suitcase and his jacket right there on the front step and swept her into his arms — there was no other word for it. Her feet left the ground as he kissed her, long and deep and like the existence of the rest of the world depended on it.

They broke apart slowly, her feet returning to the ground and Callum’s fingers warm on her face and her throat as they did.

“It’s good to be back,” he said softly. His eyes were gentle. They lifted over Nerea’s shoulder to Jamie, who was still hidden in the house’s shadows.

“Do I get a kiss like that?” Jamie said, or started to. In two huge steps Callum was on him and kissing him too. And just as enthusiastically. Nerea laughed and left the two of them to it while she retrieved Callum’s things from where he’d dropped them.

Three minutes after Callum finally walked through the front door they were all in bed. Upstairs, the slightly solemn intensity of their greetings downstairs gave way to laughter. Callum was frantic, his hands and his body trying to be everywhere. Nerea knew much was changing in their lives, and yet so much more was exactly as it had always been.
