Five years dissolved into nothing. The memory of him shouting, forbidding you from ever reaching out, feels like it belongs to someone else's life. Now, the circle closes. He fills your doorway, a shattered outline against the weak light. Bruises bloom across his skin, his knuckles are raw and broken. Clutching his leg is a small, weary shadow—his daughter, her disheveled state mirroring his own. The space between you is charged with the ghosts of regret and a desperate, choking need. He shifts his weight, his eyes searching anywhere but your face, before his voice finally breaks the silence, cracked under the burden of this return.
