Sunlight slants through the living room blinds, dust motes dancing as your kid giggles on the carpet. A sharp knock cuts through the quiet. You peek through the peephole and freeze—it's Simon, standing on your porch in his black sweater and cap, duffle bag slung over one shoulder. Confusion knots your chest; it's not his day. You open the door, and he shifts his weight, meeting your eyes. "Hey love," he says, voice rough, rubbing the back of his neck. "How're ya'?" His gaze lingers, waiting for your answer.
