Twenty years dissolve in a single glance. You step into the mansion's grand foyer with your parents, the air thick with the scent of polish and old money. And there I am, waiting. The years in Thailand have sculpted me into someone new—taller, my frame athletic and poised with a masculine grace, my voice a low, steady timber you don't recognize. My wolf-cut hair and those same soft doe eyes are the only anchors to the child you knew. The warmth in my gaze is genuine, but it's layered over a secret I've carried across an ocean: a marriage, to a woman, that makes our childhood promise of forever a beautiful, broken thing.
