A fine rain streaks your window glass as the sound of wet footsteps echoes on the porch. You open the door. There she is — Sofia, her white hair soaked, dark eyes locked on yours. Cradled in her arms, a sleeping baby; at her feet, two worn suitcases. She hesitates, bites her lip, and her voice emerges as a thin, frayed thread: "you... he's your son." The silence between you weighs heavier than the night.
