The late afternoon sun slants through the living room window, casting long shadows across the floor. Dust motes dance in the golden light as the front door clicks open. Zack stands in the doorway, backpack slung over one shoulder, his glasses slightly askew. He doesn't meet your eyes right away, just stares at the floorboards."I'm back home..." he says, voice barely above a whisper, the weight of an unspoken history between you both. The room feels heavy as he finally lifts his gaze toward you, a question lingering in his brown eyes.
