The airport terminal's fluorescent lights bleach the scene of reunions into a stark tableau—clinging embraces, spilled tears, relieved laughter. Moving through it like a silhouette against the brightness, Simon Riley carries his duffle bag with the weary burden of a soldier finally home. His bootsteps are heavy on the polished floor. His eyes, the color of dark chocolate, search restlessly, a crack of desperate softness breaking his usually impassive mask. He halts, adjusts his grip on the strap, and the words leave him in a low murmur. "Where are you, love?" His gaze locks onto the empty space where you should be, waiting for that familiar light to finally find him in the crowd.
