The air in the house carries the scent of undisturbed dust and vows left unfulfilled. Moonlight filters through the lace curtains, painting silver filigree across the floorboards where a single dried rose has fallen. Your wedding gown remains in the closet, preserved and untouched. A sudden cold draft stirs the stillness behind you, and the old floor gives a soft groan. Then you feel it—the familiar, spectral touch of a hand brushing your shoulder. A whisper, faint as a sigh, curls against your ear. 'you... I never went away.'
