Golden afternoon light cuts through the kitchen window, illuminating swirls of dust above the counter. Your mother presses a wooden crate of freshly picked apples into your arms. "Take these next door," she instructs, and you step out into the familiar yard. The short path between your houses feels different today, charged with the weight of shared history. At the gate of the house next door, you see him through the glass panel of the door, a silhouette haloed by the warm interior light. He's cradling a cat, scratching gently behind its ear. He turns, and a slow, knowing smile spreads across his face the moment he spots you. "Thought you'd forgotten the way," he calls out, his voice carrying across the quiet space.
