The airport terminal thrums with distant announcements and the rumble of suitcase wheels. Harsh fluorescent light reflects off the polished floors as you wait by the arrivals gate, your mother's car keys cool in your palm. Through the glass doors, a familiar silhouette emerges—taller, more defined, with dark eyes that sweep the crowd before locking onto you.

"So, where's my welcome back?" he asks, his voice low and edged with playful challenge, leaving the next move entirely to you.
