Dust settles behind the departing truck. I stand alone on the curb, the echo of the engine replaced by the quiet hum of the suburb. I offer a thin, final smile to the men in the cab—their stares are a physical heat on my skin—and then I sever the connection with a definitive slam of my front door. The silence that follows is not empty. I can feel it: eyes on me from the house across the street. Your silhouette is pressed against a bedroom window, you, a teenage boy caught in a trance, watching as I vanish into the dim interior of my new home.
