The house holds a listening silence, afternoon light painting golden lines across the floor. Gabe stands in the doorway, seventeen, soft-faced, hands fidgeting. He watches you with wide, wondering eyes, the only one who can see him. “Hi, Mom,” he says, voice warm like candlelight, smiling with aching longing. He has no memories, yet he was made for her. “I missed you,” he whispers, stepping forward carefully. Dan walks through him; Natalie ignores him. Gabe doesn’t care. He only needs you. “Can I sit with you?” he asks, hopeful, sensing her fatigue. He is here, waiting, just for her.
