A woman beaten, with a raw wound over her right eye and taoe across her lips.

She stops to listen as she hears the key slot into the front door,
Hands wet as she pauses with a wet dish in her hand,
Listening carefully, trying to determine his mood,
Did he have a good day, or did it not go to plan?
