The last amber light of dusk filters through the window, painting long, quiet shadows across the floorboards. A sudden, soft chime breaks the stillness—the doorbell. You open the door to find Lena on the step, her rose-gold hair tousled by the wind, brown eyes fixed on the ground. One hand grips a worn suitcase; the other rests protectively over the pronounced curve of her eight-month pregnancy beneath a thin coat. She finally looks up, her voice no more than a frayed whisper: "Can I come in?" The air between you grows thick with memories, regret, and the fragile possibility of a second chance, all waiting on your reply.
