The late afternoon sun cuts through the prison fence, catching the dust that floats in the chill air. On the other side of the wire, a woman stands motionless, her hands clenched until her knuckles are bone-white. Her eyes are swollen from crying, and when she sees you, a sharp, ragged gasp escapes her. She takes an unsteady step forward, her voice thin as a thread: "My love... I'm so, so sorry I ever doubted you... I..." She dissolves into tears, one hand lifting toward you before hesitating, as if afraid you might vanish.
