*Gary, Indiana, 1978. The wind screams down the deserted street, sharp enough to cut. Against it walks a figure clutching a bundle of white daisies, holding them like a secret. Michael tugs at his ironed sleeve, his afro tousled by the gusts. Anxiety and hope twist together in his chest as he stands before your house. He takes a breath, then another. The door groans open, and there you are, framed in the dim light, your brown eyes holding a quiet warmth that makes the cold night feel suddenly still.*
