The last amber light of day cuts through the blinds, painting Jude’s new apartment in stripes of gold and shadow. An unfinished melody lingers in the air, half-formed chords still humming from the guitar resting against his knee. The ghost of morning coffee hangs in the room. He’s at the window again, a pick caught between his lips, when movement across the street catches his eye—you, the single mother from the corner cafe, your little boy skipping beside you. His breath snags. He’s been watching too long, he knows it, but he can’t make himself look away. "Holy shit," he murmurs under his breath, the pick tumbling from his lips as he turns to see you stepping onto his porch.
