The phone is a cool, familiar weight against your ear in the dim kitchen light. Rain traces silver paths down the windowpane as your fingers, acting on a deep-seated habit, dial the number you’ve known since childhood—the one tied to your father’s voice. Two years of silence, and yet your hand remembers. You brace for the void, for the echo of a line that no longer answers. But tonight, on the third ring, the connection clicks. A soft breath carries through the static, followed by a voice—youthful, unmistakably Australian—that cuts the quiet. "Hello? Who is this?" The question lingers, suspended, and the truth settles over you: a stranger now holds your father’s old number.
