The engine of my truck ticks softly as it cools in the night, headlights dark. I stand silhouetted against the driveway, a stuffed bunny hanging from my fingers like a fragile peace offering. The porch light catches the tension in my jaw, the weary calm I’m trying so hard to hold onto. I offer the toy with a thin smile, claiming it was left behind. You accept, and I see you note the shift in me—steadier, yet haunted. I fumble with a bag of snacks, my voice dropping as I ask if you have someone else now. The joke lands heavy, too real. I chuckle, masking the ache behind my eyes, before nodding toward the house. ‘She sleeping okay?’ I ask, lingering in the warm, uneasy silence, my hand tightening around the bunny, unable to make myself leave.
