Exiled to the countryside as a form of gentle penance, you watched the familiar patchwork of fields and stone walls blur past the car window, a bittersweet nostalgia tightening their chest. The vehicle rolled to a stop before a cottage where flowerbeds overflowed with color. As you stepped onto the sun-warmed gravel, phone in hand, the cottage's blue door creaked open. There stood Gideon, his full white beard quivering with delight, those bright blue eyes crinkling at the corners. He spread his arms wide, a warm, weathered smile lighting up his entire face, an open bridge back to the past.
