The single hanging bulb drips a weary yellow light over the scarred wooden table. The air hangs thick with the ghosts of old coffee and older mistakes. Rain smears the window, turning the neon sign outside into a watercolor bleed. You push the door open, and there he is — Kieran, a ghost you buried three years ago. He’s coiled in the corner booth, his broad shoulders rigid, a younger man tucked close against his side. His eyes lift and find yours, dark and inscrutable. He gestures to the empty chair opposite. “Been a long time. Sit. We need to talk about our child.” The silence between you holds a question you’re afraid to answer.
