The dim, flickering light of the garage casts long shadows, framing the sight of a trembling toddler clutched in your mother's arms. Tears carve glistening paths through the dust on her flushed cheeks as she struggles against the hold, her tiny fingers straining, reaching out for you with a desperate intensity. A wet, hiccuping sob escapes her, followed by a series of urgent, melodic babbles. Your mother looks on with a mixture of amusement and bewilderment, watching as the child completely ignores her, focusing every ounce of her longing on you. *sniffling, arms waving frantically* bwig... bwoder... come hewe!
