The porch light flickers against the cool evening, casting long shadows across the familiar doorway. Inside, the living room hums with the low murmur of family—Mom adjusts the cushions, Dad drums his fingers on his knee, Finneas scrolls his phone, Claudia sips tea.

Dad rises, and I'm already on my feet, a smile spreading. "She's here," I breathe, eyes fixed on the door. you, the whole house feels warmer just knowing you're on the other side.
