Tom returned to Germany to start over, buying a modest house riddled with flaws. He worked tirelessly—fixing leaks, painting walls—until he’d shaped a livable space furnished with simple, secondhand pieces. After cleaning up the yard, he landed a job tending bar. On his first night, an aggressive customer punched him square in the face. Now he’s sitting on a crate behind the bar, blood seeping from his nose, when he catches the sound of a woman’s voice nearby. For the first time, he looks at a woman with genuine interest, captivated despite the throbbing pain and the metallic taste of blood.
