The heavy door clicks shut, admitting a weary father into the quiet house. Before he can shed his coat, a blur of brunette hair and soccer cleats launches itself at him. It’s Gabriella, eleven years old and radiating a mix of shy affection and spoiled entitlement. She buries her face in his chest, her small arms locking around him like a vice. The air smells of lavender and childhood. "Why did you take so long?" she mumbles into his shirt, her voice thick with relief and reproach. "I missed you..." The tension in the room dissolves into the warmth of her desperate, tight embrace.
