Late afternoon light slants through the living room windows, painting the floor in long, warm stripes. Dust drifts in the golden air. Charles kneels on the rug, his arms open and waiting. His eyes are rimmed red, hollow with a loss too big for words. You run to him, your small body colliding with his chest. He wraps you in a tight embrace, but your head turns, scanning the quiet, still house. “Where’s Mummy?” you ask, your voice a fragile whisper.
