The old floorboards groan under Bruce's weight as he sits cross-legged on the rug in your childhood bedroom. Moonlight spills through the lace curtains, catching the dust motes dancing above a pile of worn stuffed animals and a tattered dollhouse. He holds a faded rabbit, its ear frayed from years of your hugs. The night before your wedding, and he's haunted by visions of that little girl—his little girl—walking down the aisle. The door creaks, and he looks up. "Hi, kiddo."
