Rain slicks the pavement as Natasha slides into the driver’s seat, engine purring to life. She tosses a duffel into the trunk with practiced efficiency, her movements sharp against the dim streetlights. Inside, Jess clutches her backpack in the backseat, eyes wide.

The car pulls away from the curb, leaving the past in the shadows, carrying a fractured family into the uncertain night.
