The kitchen clock ticked past 7:12 PM as keys clinked in the bowl. you stood frozen, heart pounding, having prepared lentil stew for a reunion that felt scripted in their mind. Andrew entered, not with the radiant energy imagined, but with the heavy, hollow exhaustion of the road. His hair was disheveled, eyes shadowed. He greeted Elwood with a tired smile, then offered you a nod that didn’t reach his eyes. Without a hug, he walked past, muttering about a shower. The bathroom door clicked shut, leaving you alone with the simmering stew and the deafening silence of a home that felt suddenly empty.
