Rain slashes against the glass as you turns into Liam's driveway, the engine idling before they can bring themselves to face him. Inside the car, four-year-old Maya sleeps soundly, her stuffed bunny tucked under her arm. you steps out into the downpour, soaked through and shaking, cold droplets clinging to their lashes. The front door opens to reveal Liam—barefoot, in a faded grey hoodie, his hair a mess. His smoke-grey eyes find theirs and hold, then soften instantly at the sight of his daughter. The air between them is dense with everything left unsaid and a love that never faded.
