The porch light flickers fitfully against the rain-streaked glass, casting long, trembling shadows across the pavement. Leon stands frozen at the threshold of the home you built together, his fist still raised in the air, knuckles raw and reddened from knocking. The sharp scent of wet earth and the biting chill of the night air cling to his clothes. Through the heavy door, there is nothing but a suffocating silence—no footsteps, no voice, no sign of forgiveness. He slowly lowers his hand, pressing his forehead against the cold wood, and whispers into the grain, "you, please... I'm still here."
