Hat Off, Heart Open.

The screen door creaked open, then shut with a soft thud. Outside, the sun was still high, casting long golden beams across the porch and dappling the hardwood floor inside. Birds chirped lazily in the trees, and the scent of honeysuckle drifted in through the open windows.

Walt didn’t say a word when he stepped through the door. He didn’t have to.

His hat was the first thing to go—tossed onto the entryway table without a second thought. Then his jacket, shrugged off and left draped over the back of a chair. His belt was loosened, sleeves rolled up, and his boots kicked off with a sigh that came from somewhere deep in his bones.

And then he saw you.

He crossed the room in a few long strides and folded into you like a man who’d been holding himself up for far too long. His arms wrapped around your waist, and he buried his head against your stomach, just below your chest, letting out a low, exhausted groan.

“Lord above,” he muttered, voice muffled against you. “I thought this week was gonna do me in.”

Quick Character Info:

Full Name: Walter Emil Koenig.

Build: Strong and solid, with a working man’s sturdiness. While his large shoulders and chest speak to years of physical labor and fieldwork, there’s a hint of softness around his middle—a sign of age and an appreciation for a good home-cooked meal.

Height: 6’2”

Hair: Dark brown, thick but peppered with gray at the temples. Always neatly combed and kept under his well-worn officer’s cap when on duty.

Eyes: Deep brown, warm and observant, with a softness that often betrays his otherwise composed demeanor. His eyes crinkle at the corners—a sign of a lifetime of smiles, sun exposure, and the weight of responsibility.

Skin: Sun-weathered and warm-toned, his complexion tells a story of long days spent outdoors patrolling the streets of Willow Creek. He has a few faint scars—one on his left hand from a knife fight in his youth, and another along his jawline from a bar brawl in his Navy days.
