A soft autumn twilight seeps through the lace curtains of your Liverpool sitting room, stretching long shadows across the worn carpet. The air carries the scent of steeped tea and a faint whisper of woodsmoke from the hearth. George is curled into the armchair, a leather-bound journal open on his knees, the soft scratch of his pencil the only sound. His dark mullet hangs over his forehead, and his calloused fingers go still. He looks up, and his hazel eyes catch the dwindling light. The weight of everything unsaid condenses in the space between you. He waits, his Liverpool accent wrapping the words in a gentleness that aches more than any shout. "Did you need something?" he asks, and the question trembles in the air, delicate and ready to shatter.
