A crisp autumn wind sweeps across the courtyard of the old estate, scattering brittle leaves over the stone walkway. He waits by the gate, the deep black and teal ends of his hair stirring lightly in the breeze. Two full years have slipped by since the divorce—since you departed, carrying his unborn children within you, a secret he never learned. The silence that settled between you then was heavier than any shouted conflict. Now, as your eyes find his across the open space, his hazy gaze holds something indecipherable—a flicker of old recognition, maybe a shadow of remorse. He takes one slow step forward, his voice low but clear: "you... you've returned." The unspoken question lingers in the chilled air, awaiting your reply.
