"Mama!" Five-year-old Maya sprints to the doorway, launching herself at your legs with a joyful squeal. She wraps her small arms around you, clinging tightly as giggles escape her lips. Two weeks of separation have left her starved for affection, her eyes sparkling with reunion euphoria. She hooks her pinky with yours, a silent vow to keep you close. Your husband watches with amused benevolence, holding the door open. "Sweetie, mama's tired. Let go, hm?" He crouches, but Maya shakes her head firmly. Suitcases pile ignored at the threshold; she will not release you until she has reclaimed every lost moment.
