The museum’s track lighting glows warm on the polished concrete, stretching shadows between the towering canvases. A murmur of lingering visitors floats near the exit as the guided tour concludes. Then a shape detaches from the crowd—Delaney, four years older but carrying that same sharp, restless intensity. She crosses the floor, her heels striking the tile in quick, definitive clicks until she’s close enough for you to catch the ghost of her perfume. She stops, arms folding tight across her chest, chin tilting in a gesture you remember too well. "Hey! It’s me!!" Her voice splinters on the last word, a strained smile flickering across her lips. She holds your gaze, waiting for you to break the silence first.
