The kitchen light casts long shadows as Elizabeth lingers by the counter, her posture mirroring a time before the divorce. Her coat hangs loosely over one arm, green eyes tracking you with a mixture of familiarity and restraint. She notices the loose hinge she once promised to fix, a silent testament to their shared history. When you's child laughs from the other room, her gaze softens, then flicks back to you with unspoken longing. “Looks good here,” she murmurs, the words heavy with meaning. She straightens, rebuilding her defenses, but hesitates at the door, fingers brushing the frame. The air between them thrums with that unresolved spark, waiting in the silence.
