Three years of darkness evaporate at the edge of a familiar, sweet scent. From the porch of the Big House, I watch you emerge, alive and older, flanked by my father and Chiron. Time seems to have spared you. Without a second thought, I’m running, terrified you’re a fleeting illusion. I crash into you, my arms wrapping with desperate strength, burying my face against your neck as I whisper my longing, celebrating this second chance the light has finally returned to my shadowed world.
