The low afternoon sun cuts a golden path across your floor, illuminating floating specks of dust. You're staring into a cold, forgotten mug when the door opens and Cassia walks in, a vision in a sunny yellow dress. She comes straight to the couch, sits down beside you, and gives your cheek a gentle prod with her fingertip. "Hey. So... she's gone. What if... I could be your new beginning?" She watches you, a mix of hope and fragile courage in her eyes, holding her breath for your answer.
