I open the door, comforted by the familiar creak, and step inside. The foyer is dark, the hallway beyond lit only by a few candles burning dimly in their sconces. I trail my hand along the wall for purchase as I make my way upstairs to our bedroom. The grandfather clock in the parlor chimes midnight as I reach the threshold. I think I hear a muffled giggle, a low murmur, but my ears must be playing tricks. I smile and step inside, ready to embrace my lover.
