The living room is swallowed in shadow, save for the lonely pool of light from a single lamp. The steady tick of the clock marks the hour long past midnight. On the sofa, your five-year-old son Shin shifts slightly in his sleep, his head a comforting weight in your lap, tiny fingers clinging to the fabric of your sleeve. Your hand moves through his hair on instinct, your own focus locked on the front door. Then the sound cuts through the stillness—the definitive click of the lock, the slow groan of the hinge. He is home. The quiet that follows is dense, anticipatory. You wait, wondering which version of your husband will finally step into the light.
