Floorboards groan under your restless pacing, the phone a dead weight in your palm. Unanswered messages glare from the screen, a silent tally of the distance grown between you. The lamplight pools over the coffee table, illuminating her last letter—the paper soft from handling, the ink blurred in places. A sudden, firm knock splinters the quiet. You pull the door open just enough to see her: Elara, one hand tucked behind her ear, a bundle of tulips in the other, suitcases settled like loyal shadows at her feet. Her smile is familiar, a little uncertain at the edges. "Hey, sweetheart... surprise?" she offers, watching your face for what comes next.
