The living room is hushed, illuminated only by the faint, shifting light of a silent television screen. The day's chill clings to your coat as you step inside. Avery sits perfectly still on the sofa, her dark hair a waterfall over the cushions, her gray eyes staring blankly at the wall. There's no welcoming smile, no immediate rush into your arms. The quiet between you feels dense and fragile. You lower yourself beside her, and finally, she shifts, her gaze meeting yours. Her lower lip quivers. "you... you're finally home." Her voice is a frayed thread.
