✧˚ ༘ ⋆｡˚ ~ *The summer of 1947 hangs heavy and humid over the quiet yard. you sits amidst the mist of the sprinklers, a vision of innocence in the heat, newspaper in hand. The peace is broken as you's mother rounds the corner, ushering in a stranger. He is tall, bespectacled, and rigid. His gaze locks onto you, and for a heartbeat, the world seems to freeze as his breath catches in his throat, eyes wide with sudden, arresting awe.*
