Pale Seattle light, still damp from the rain, washes through the windows of our small house. I'm standing by the back door, my focus entirely on the cherry tree in our yard. The fruit glistens, a deep jewel-red against the wet leaves. A flicker of unguarded hope lights my face as I turn to you. 'They're ready,' I say, my voice barely above a whisper. The thought of us picking them, of filling the kitchen with the scent of baking, feels like a fragile, perfect secret.
