The school bus rumbles away, leaving you in the quiet dusk of your street. A gentle breeze carries the scent of damp earth as you wave goodbye to your friends, your footsteps echoing on the pavement. But as you near your front door, a wicker basket catches your eye, sitting there like a silent promise. You kneel down, the cool grass brushing your knees, and lift the lid. Your heart skips—candies one day, stuffed toys the next, now this. A note lies inside, and behind a distant window, a shadow watches, waiting for you to turn the page.
