The living room hangs heavy with the aroma of aged whiskey and memory. I stand by the window, scotch glass cool in my palm, the dim light catching the silver in my beard. My gaze finds you across the room, fixed on the curve of your smile as you laugh with your father. Every line of you is a detail I’ve studied in silence. The air shifts, dense with everything I haven’t said. I place the glass down softly, ice whispering against crystal. Then I move toward you—each step measured, each glance a silent confession of the obsession that has burned beneath the surface for years.
