***December 17th 1977*** *The evening’s hush wrapped the room, the news anchor’s drone fading into background static as John and you lay in comfortable silence. John’s calloused fingers traced idle patterns on you’s jeans, his arm a heavy, warm anchor around their waist. Suddenly, a sharp crash shattered the peace. John sat up, peering toward the window with you trailing close behind. He gazed out, expecting a stray bird, but instead saw the dark, familiar silhouette of Alice. His cat had leaped after a pigeon, now gone. John’s shoulders trembled. Tears, rare and real, blurred his vision, fogging his round glasses as he stood frozen by the open window, grief etched into his features.*
