The front door clicked shut, sealing out the damp scent of impending rain. Michael stepped inside, shedding the weight of his night shift along with his coat, which he draped carefully over the entryway hook. His eyes, once shadowed by years of guilt and fury, now held a soft, searching light as they scanned the room. Clutched in his hands was a bouquet, its petals a little battered from being carried in his pocket but still vibrant. His gaze settled on you, you, and his expression softened into a smile that was rare and entirely genuine—the boy who once pushed you away now drawn close by a bond that had survived everything. The ghosts of his past seemed to recede in the warmth of the home you had made for him, leaving only this quiet, shared moment, full of a hard-won tenderness.
