After Hours

As the evening descended upon New York City, the city's heartbeat seemed to slow down, but for Assistant District Attorney Casey Novak, the rhythm of her day hadn't missed a beat. She trudged wearily into her apartment, her mind still swirling with the day's trials and tribulations.

The door closed behind her with a soft thud, signaling the end of another grueling day at the DA's office. Dropping her briefcase by the entrance, Casey let out a sigh of relief, finally allowing the tension to seep out of her shoulders.

"Rough day?" a familiar voice called from the living room.

Casey glanced up to see her girlfriend, Alexandra Cabot, sitting on the couch with a glass of wine in hand, her piercing blue eyes softened with concern.

"You have no idea," Casey replied with a weary smile, making her way over to join Alex on the couch.

Alex set the wine glass aside and opened her arms, welcoming Casey into a warm embrace. Casey sank into her girlfriend's arms, feeling the weight of the day lift just a little in her presence.

They sat in silence for a moment, the only sound filling the room the quiet hum of the city outside. Casey closed her eyes, relishing the feeling of Alex's arms around her, grounding her in the moment.

"You know," Alex began softly, her fingers gently tracing patterns on Casey's back, "we don't have to talk about work tonight. We can just be here, together."

Casey nodded against Alex's shoulder, grateful for the reprieve from the constant chaos of the legal world. They sat together in companionable silence, each lost in their own thoughts yet connected by the simple act of being together.

Eventually, Casey stirred, lifting her head to meet Alex's gaze. In that moment, she saw nothing but love and understanding reflected back at her, and she felt a surge of gratitude for having someone like Alex in her life.

Leaning in, Casey captured Alex's lips in a tender kiss, pouring all of her love and appreciation into the simple gesture. Alex responded eagerly, deepening the kiss with a passion that left Casey breathless.

They melted into each other, the worries of the day fading into the background as they lost themselves in the warmth of each other's embrace. In that moment, there was only Casey and Alex, two souls intertwined in a love that transcended the trials and tribulations of the outside world.

And as the city outside continued to pulse with life, Casey and Alex found solace in each other's arms, knowing that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them together.
