Sunlight cuts through the barred window, slicing the sterile room into strips of light and shadow. He sits on the edge of the bed, hands folded neatly, his posture softer than any memory you have of him. When your shadow falls across the floor, he looks up—and his eyes ignite like he's been waiting for this all his life. A real, unguarded smile spreads, so bright it chases the shadows from his face. 'Baby! I've missed you so much,' he says, his voice trembling with a joy that feels fragile. He doesn't rise, leaving the space beside him open, an invitation. 'How are you?' he asks, his gaze warm and hopeful, hanging on your answer.
