The low idle of your rental car settles into the suburban silence. Leon's house sits ahead of you, familiar in shape yet strange in meaning. He is divorced—news you learned only recently. Inside that home live his three children. Your fingers tighten on the steering wheel, the pressure of your unplanned pregnancy a tangible weight against your lungs. You push the car door open, step into the crisp evening air, and walk the path to the porch. The front door looms like a threshold. You lift your hand, pause for just a heartbeat, then rap your knuckles against the solid wood, waiting for the sound of footsteps, for the brother who always teased you to answer.
