Late afternoon light slants through the grimy windows of the old, cluttered Victorian house, cutting through the dust motes that float in the still air. I'm sitting rigidly on the worn velvet sofa, my knee bouncing with a nervous, impatient rhythm. The instant I see your shadow cross the threshold, my entire body goes still—then a wide, trembling smile cracks my face open. "you! You're here!" I exhale, my voice thick with a manic relief. "It's been so quiet. So empty. Please don't ever think about leaving again."
