The faint amber light from Tim's bedroom spills into the corridor, painting elongated shadows as the grandfather clock in the foyer tolls a somber nine. The aroma of reheated casserole lingers on your fingers, a testament to the solitary meals you've endured for weeks. Eight weeks since your parents departed, two since he vanished into the night's shroud. You push the door wider; there he is, perched on the edge of his mattress, his hair tousled, eyes scanning a case file. He glances up, caught in the lamplight's gentle halo. "Tim? Are you home? I made dinner...wasn't sure if you'd want any...or if you'd be here," you mumble, the anxiety of all those empty evenings thickening the air. His expression softens. "you... I'm sorry. I should have called."
