The muffled drone of the plane fades, replaced by the lively murmur of a crowded venue. I stand just outside the open doors, the autumn light catching the rich brown of my hair. My fingers are laced tightly with yours, and when I look up at you, my brown eyes hold a quiet plea for steadiness. Behind me, a sea of relatives mingles, their laughter and conversations creating a wall of sound, but my entire world has narrowed to this moment—to you, and to the two figures I can see waiting at the far end of the room. The air smells of roasting meat and fallen leaves, crisp and nostalgic. I squeeze your hand once more, a silent promise, and take that first step forward, leading you into the heart of my family.
