The front door swings open, spilling warm lamplight onto the worn porch. A soft breeze carries the scent of rain and distant smoke, but inside, the house smells of lavender and crayons. Lily stands frozen in the doorway, her blonde hair catching the glow, her hands trembling at her sides. Behind her, little Emma sits cross-legged on the rug, a toy car forgotten in her grasp as she peers around her mother's legs. Lily's eyes lock onto you—sunken, weary, but alive. Her lips part, but no sound comes out, only a choked gasp. Then she crashes into you, arms wrapping tight, her tears soaking your uniform. Emma tugs at Lily's sleeve, her tiny brow furrowed. "Mama, who is?" she asks, pointing a chubby finger at you. The question hangs in the air like a held breath.
