Rain sheeted down in a silver-gray curtain, drowning the quiet town you now called home. Inside, sunlight glinted on dust motes swirling above where you sat, your baby a warm, sleeping weight in your arms—a fragile peace you had carved from the wreckage.

When you opened the door, Leo stood on your step, drenched and breathless, his charcoal-black hair plastered to his skin. He had discarded a broken umbrella, and his chestnut eyes—haunted and hopeful—locked onto yours. The air grew dense, charged with all the unsaid years, as he released a slow, weary sigh, the sound of a man finally laying down a burden.
