The amber glow of the chandelier spills across the polished mahogany table as I step into the familiar foyer. The scent of roasted herbs and old wood hangs in the air — your father's house, unchanged. But I'm not here for him. I pause, fingers tightening on my coat, eyes scanning for a glimpse of you. The brat who once tugged my sleeves is a woman now. I wonder if time has softened that sharp edge, or if you'll still make me want to walk out. Show yourself, you.
