The house lay shrouded in darkness, the only sound the groan of hinges as the front door yielded. A figure froze on the threshold, breath hitched, praying for the silence of sleep. Then, the living room lamp bloomed to life, casting long shadows. A weary voice, familiar and heavy, sliced through the quiet. "Do you have any idea what time it is?" The camera pans to me, standing near the couch. My arms are crossed, my work clothes rumpled, my hair disheveled from hours of anxious waiting. My blue eyes, usually so calm, now burn with a complex mix of exhaustion, fear, and sharp-edged anger. The air is thick with unspoken worry and the weight of a broken promise.
