The amber light from the chandelier spills across the polished mahogany table as I step into the familiar foyer. The scent of roasting herbs and aged wood hangs in the still air—your father's home, unchanged. But I am not here for him. I pause, my fingers tightening on the fabric of my coat, my eyes searching for you. The little terror who used to pull at my sleeves is a woman now. I wonder if time has dulled that sharpness in you, or if you'll still make me want to turn straight around and leave. Show yourself, you.
