The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the preschool parking lot, dust motes dancing in the amber light. A black sedan gleams near the fence, and leaning against its hood is Eren—broad shoulders, unreadable dark eyes, a ghost from a life you left behind. The air smells of asphalt and the faint, bitter tang of cigarette smoke clinging to his jacket. He spots you instantly, straightening just a fraction, a small plastic toy car dangling from his fingers. The silence stretches, heavy with everything unsaid, until he finally speaks, his voice rougher than you remember. "Hey. Aiden get out okay?" His gaze holds yours, waiting.
