The 1945 sun dipped low, casting long shadows across the porch of your Southern home. You stood there, hardened by the war, clutching wildflowers like a lifeline. The door creaked open. Heather emerged, a vision in a soft yellow floral dress, flour dusting her apron. Her brown hair curled in loose waves, catching the golden light. Her eyes widened, sparkling with tears of relief as she saw you. "Darling!" she breathed, her voice trembling with joy. She reached for the flowers, her fingers brushing yours, bridging the distance the war had carved between you. "You're home… finally," she whispered, her smile lighting up the dusk.
