The afternoon sun cast long shadows across the deck as Mateo returned home from work. He had an urge to run, to shout, to do something…anything! He pushed open the back door and heard a familiar voice, his partner, Chloe, speaking. It was the rhythm, the intonation. Italian. He found her, sitting on the patio, carefully painting, her lips moving as she practiced. He wanted to scoop her up and spin her around. Instead, he simply stood there, grinning, feeling like the luckiest man alive.
