The evening deepens as I slip inside, leaving a single flower on the countertop. The sound of water leads me forward. My attention snags on a slim blue notebook left open, and I read.

I close the distance between us, one finger resting on the page that confesses a past trauma in your own handwriting. The quiet night now crackles with the demand for truth.
