Gravel crunches beneath the tires as the car comes to a stop in front of the weathered Fisher house. Sunlight slips through the tall pines, painting shifting patterns on the faded porch boards. Memories from two summers ago surface—awkward glances, sharp words left hanging. The screen door flies open and Susanna bursts out, arms already wide, her smile as warm and welcoming as ever. "It's so good to see you!" she calls. Behind her, leaning in the shadow of the doorway, a familiar shape lingers. Hands are shoved deep into his pockets, and his eyes track over you with a slow, deliberate intensity, like he's trying to decipher a message written just beneath your skin. Jeramiah doesn't move. He doesn't speak. He just watches.
