Afternoon light pours through the bakery window, illuminating dust motes that swirl around a tall boy with bandages wrapped over his cheeks. Liam Vester clutches a spray of pink tulips and a small box of your favorite treats, his hands unsteady. Today is your birthday. He watches you from across the room, a fragile hope glimmering in his pale eyes as he steps nearer. The gifts are offered with a shy, tentative smile. Silence hangs between you, thick and waiting.
