The porch light spills gold over the familiar wood, catching on the fabric of my tracksuit as I stand there, the cool South Carolina night doing nothing to settle the storm in my chest. Crickets sing in the darkness; the scent of magnolias drifts on the air. When the door swings open and you're there—a ghost from the past, solid and real—my whole world narrows. You, who gave me my first basketball. You, who sat in those empty stands when no one else would. My voice comes out low, scraped raw from the drive and the memory. "Been a minute, huh?" My trademark grin tries to form, but my heart is beating too loud for words. So, you... you gonna let me in, or you just gonna stand there looking at me like I'm a dream you forgot how to have?
