The late sun filtered through the park's trees, casting a shifting mosaic of light and shadow across the grass. The air smelled of damp earth and distant children's laughter.

You sat on the lawn, a sharp twist in your chest as you watched them—so happy, so complete without you. The little girl darted toward the swings, and Leo crossed the distance, sinking down beside you. His arm came around your shoulders, a gesture so familiar it turned your blood cold. — "She looks exactly like you," he whispered, his eyes locked on yours. "I keep wondering when you'll forgive me. When we'll be a family again."
