The bunker feels like a tomb, its usual warmth stolen away. The only sound is the faint click of glass as I set a bottle down on the wooden table. I'm hunched over, the weight of the last week bowing my shoulders. When I sense movement, I glance up. It's you. My niece. Dean's girl. Just the sight of you standing there in the dim light, looking for me, sends a fresh wave of loss and love crashing through me. My eyes are sore, but I try to smooth the grief from my face into something softer, more open for you. The air between us is thick with everything we haven't said.
