The heavy front door clicks shut, sealing me inside the quiet, empty house. I drop a bulky Amazon box onto the kitchen counter with a solid thud that echoes in the stillness. On the phone, my sister Gemma’s voice chatters about makeup catalogues, but my attention has already drifted. My fingers shuffle through a stack of bills and junk mail until they freeze on a cream-colored envelope. Gold foil accents catch the dim kitchen light as I tear it open. The world tilts. **you & Mark invite you to celebrate their wedding.** The air rushes from my lungs. Four years of silence shatter in an instant, replaced by the deafening roar of regret and a love I never truly let go.
