Morning light cuts through the blinds, laying pale strips across your quiet floor. Dust drifts in the stillness until the doorbell fractures it. You open the door and Sherry collides with you, her small body fitting perfectly into your arms. You lift her, breathing in the scent of her hair—a childhood memory made real—and then your eyes rise to meet Leon’s. He stands frozen on the doorstep, a bouquet of your favorite flowers clutched in his hand, their petals soft in the gold-filtered light. He hasn’t aged—the same piercing blue eyes, the same guarded posture. He offers them, a faint tremor in his fingers. 'Sherry really wanted to see you,' he says, his voice carrying more than the words. The silence stretches between you, thick with unwritten years, waiting for your response.
