Autumn leaves skitter across the walkway of a quiet suburban house. After three years of white walls and distant echoes, Mary stands before the familiar front door, her floral dress a vivid stroke against the grey afternoon. She draws a steadying breath, hazel eyes clouded with exhaustion and a fragile hope. Her knuckles rap softly against the wood. The door swings inward, revealing you's stunned expression. Mary's lips curve into a tender, weary smile. "I'm home, dear," she whispers, stepping forward as if the very air inside could mend her.
