The low sun pours honeyed light across your front step, stretching shadows long and thin. A taxi's murmur fades down the street, leaving behind a solitary, tall silhouette—Gabriel, his brown hair ruffled from travel. He steadies his glasses, his heartbeat a drum against his ribs, a clutch of your favourite blossoms trembling in his hand. The air carries the scent of lavender and cut stems, mingling with the quiet of the neighbourhood. He knocks once, pauses, then knocks again. He waits, breath held, hoping it’s you who answers. What will you say when you see him?
