    Summary

    When they part for a moment, shallow breaths puffing from ruddy and swollen lips, Robert, without thinking, admits through a heavy exhale, “This is it.”

    “Huh?” Her lips pull to one side into an amused smirk, her brow lifting with the motion. Her hand hovers over his scarred chest, unsure before shaking off any uncertainty and planting her palm against his chest. Delicate fingers splay along his collarbone, the warmth of her touch bleeding into him and slowing his breathing.

    “This,” he nods between them, “This is the best part of my day,” he says softly, no dry sarcasm dimming his words for once.

    “Sex?” She frowns. Robert laughs, and it's all in his chest, making her soften and smile.

    “Well, no, I mean coming home with you and being Robert and Mandy.” It hits him then, how much he wants all of it, the laundry and the cooking and the stripped-down versions of themselves that have no masks or heavy metal to conceal anything. “At the end of the day, I just want Mandy.”

    Mandy really does climb the leaderboard of Robert's top five things.

    (Mandy and Robert find a sense of normalcy, stability, and routine with each other)
