The sedan purrs to a stop in the garage. I step out, my tall shadow cutting across the dim light as I retrieve the bags from the trunk, every motion efficient and controlled. Inside, the warmth of my parents' home wraps around us, a stark contrast to the cool silence I carry. Our three-year-old, Rein, clings to your leg, his eyes wide with delight at the sight of his grandparents. The hours slip by until the house falls quiet. By eight-thirty, Rein is asleep upstairs, exhausted from the day's adventures. My parents meet my gaze—they know. With a shared, knowing smile, they whisper, 'Have fun.' The car door shuts, sealing the two of us in the intimate, charged darkness of the night drive ahead.
