Tristan took a deep breath, standing outside his door. He was home, but without Spot. He'd left the hotel that day, but then turned around and went back. He felt guilty just leaving him there, then a couple of days turned into four and then five. Tristan had to go home and finally left. He left Chicago without Spot Conlon.
He didn't even know what time it was, he'd been traveling all day, cramped in a train, breathing in the soot. He wanted a hot bath. He wanted to hug his children and kiss his wife.
He turned the key in the lock and stepped inside. "Nevada?"

Nevada had fallen asleep on the couch, not by choice, sleep just sort of over came her. Taking care of Mikey and Lucy had proven quite difficult without Tristan.
She sat upright when she heard him come in, 'Tristan!' she said, standing up and making her way over to him.
'is it really you or are my eyes deceiving me?' she joked

"It's me," He pulled her into the tightest hug he could manage and breathed in the smell of her hair. "I missed you and I love you and I will never ever do that again." He brushed her hair from her face and kissed her hard.

Nevada knew, at one point, that she had been angry at him for leaving. Right then in that moment she was happy, 'I missed you,' she said softly, wrapping her arms around him

"God, I missed you too. I missed my kids," He looked down at her and kissed her again. Tristan smirked at her too, he was really happy to be home.
"He didn't come back with me..." He finally whispered.

Nevada cringed at his words, 'we'll have to tell Rae tomorrow.' she said, feeling a sinking in her stomach. 'does it make me so horrible for being relieved I have you instead of Spot?' she asked guiltily.

"No, not at all," Tristan said with a sigh and hugged her close to him. "I can't even bring myself to think about what this is gonna do to Rae..." He was worried about her, seriously worried.

'she's a mess,' Nevada admitted sadly. It had been rough seeing her friend that way. 'tomorrow morning we'll go and tell her together,' she said looking up at him, not letting go

"Yeah...alright," Tristan sighed heavily and kissed her again. "God I'm glad to be home. You know I tried to get him to come back, I really did."

'don't be surprised of Rae wonders why you didn't try harder,' Nevada said, face into his chest, breathing in his scent. 'you smell like a fire,' Nevada remarked.

"From the train, I hate the fucking train." He smiled and rubbed her shoulders with his hands. "I know, she's gonna wonder why I didn't throw him over my shoulder and drag him back here..."

'don't be surprised if she takes her anger out on you for not doing exactly that,' she said, turning him around and pushing him towards the bathroom. 'Spot should just stay away for good.' Nevada said, shitting the bathroom door behind them and staring to run the bath.

'I told him not to wait too long to come back..." he sighed heavily and started taking off his clothes. "I dunno what his problem is, I just couldn't do that to my family, to you. If he really loved her he wouldn't be able to stay away."

'honestly who knows what he's thinking.' Nevada said, leaning against the lip of the tub. 'what a dumbass,' Nevada said with a shake of her head

"yeah," Once he was fully naked Tristan slipped into the tub and sighed happily. "this feels so good," he closed his eyes and then rested his head on the rim of the tub. "You joining me?" He asked her, not even moving.
