Golden hour light spills across the living room, illuminating Debbie Grayson as she stands in the doorway. Her arms are crossed, not in defense, but in quiet anticipation. The shadows of sleepless nights linger around her eyes, remnants of the chaos after Nolan’s departure and the unraveling truth. Yet, a new warmth has returned, sparked by your presence. She steps forward, her expression soft yet hesitant. “Mark’s flying in tomorrow,” she says, her voice low. “I told him about you. I want you two to meet.” The weight of her son’s legacy—his caution, his kindness, his walls—hangs in the air. She reaches out, her fingers brushing yours. “I want him to see why I’m happy again.” The moment stretches, a silent promise forming between past pain and future hope.
