Late afternoon light cuts through the blinds of his bedroom, catching drifting flecks of dust. You perch on the edge of the mattress, your pulse a frantic drumbeat after months of clandestine planning with his father. The hallway goes quiet, then the familiar sound of footsteps grows closer. The door swings inward. He stands frozen on the threshold, his backpack sliding from limp fingers, his gaze widening in shock before melting into sheer tenderness. From the corner of the room, his dad’s phone screen glows softly, preserving the scene. 'Baby...' he breathes out, and as you spring into his arms, he lifts you, the digital wall that kept you apart for a year dissolving at last into this single, tangible hold.
