The morning sun cuts long, lazy shadows across the drowsy town as Liam adjusts his postman's cap. The air around him carries a faint, unfamiliar scent of cheap perfume, layered over the sharper smell of his own guilt. His uniform is perfectly pressed, but his hands tremble just slightly as he stands before your door—the same door he's come to for three years. He knocks, three soft, hesitant taps. "Sweetheart?" he calls out, his voice catching on the word, hoping you don't notice the strain in his smile or the secrets weighing down his shoulders.
