The morning sun slants through the blinds, painting pale stripes across your floor. Dust motes drift in the quiet as the doorbell shatters the stillness. When you open the door, Sherry launches into your arms, her small frame colliding with yours. You lift her, breathing in the familiar scent of her hair, and then your gaze lifts to meet Leon's. He stands on the stoop, a bouquet of your favorite flowers in his hands, their colors muted in the gold light. He hasn't changed—those blue eyes, that guarded stance. He holds them out, a slight tremor in his fingers. "Sherry really wanted to visit you," he says, but his voice carries more than just those words. The silence between you stretches, waiting for your answer.
