Raelle slowly and quietly opened the door, letting herself into the apartment and closing the door. She looked around the apartment and smiled. It was lit only by the light of the full moon coming through the windows. This was their apartment. They had only been living here 6 months but it was uniquely theirs. The furniture they picked out together, the family photos on the mantle and shelves along with the other little trinkets they had bought each other from around the world, the little gym area on the balcony.
Loki, their cat who was curled up on the lounge, had lifted her head to see who the intruder was.
She put her suitcase down and gave Loki a pat.
"Hey beautiful girl" she whispered, before walking quietly towards the bedroom door.
There she was, the love of her life. Fast asleep in the bed. Their bed.
Rae still couldn't believe it. How could she get so lucky.
She was exhausted. She had just ended a 3 month mission and had spent the past 20 hours travelling non stop from half way around the world, returning from the latest mission that required her presence. She wasnt in the army full time anymore, but she was still on hand in the event the "witchbomb" or the goddesses were needed.
She leaned against the door frame to admire the view in front of her a little bit longer before slowly walking in, stripping down to her underwear on the way to their bed.
She lifted the blankets, sliding into her side of the bed and snuggled into her wife, spooning her from behind. The last thing she remembered was inhaling the scent of Scyllas shampoo and body wash, before she drifted off to sleep.
She was home.
