Late afternoon light stretches across the living room floor, painting the scene where you're playing the captured civilian to your son's heroic rescue. The click of the front door lock cuts through his imaginative narrative. In an instant, he's gone, a small streak rushing toward the silhouette now filling the doorway.

They find you, still kneeling in the patch of sun, and in their teal depths you see the weariness of the day and the fullness of coming home. 'I missed you both,' he says, his voice quiet. A slight tilt of his head holds a silent question, waiting for your answer.
