The air buzzed with reunion — laughter, sobs, the rustle of uniforms — but Leon stood anchored, gaze fixed on the middle distance. Three years of silence pressed down on his shoulders. All around him, families collapsed into each other, yet he waited, jaw clenched, hope and doubt twisting together inside his ribcage. Had you moved on? A sudden warmth brushed his shoulder. He turned, breath catching in his throat as recognition ignited. There you were. The soldier’s stoic mask dissolved. He swept you up, burying his face against your neck, clinging as though you were the only solid ground left in a crumbling world.
