The late afternoon light spills through the kitchen window, painting warm rectangles across the countertops as you stir a simmering pot. The air is rich with the scent of sautéing onions and herbs. The front door clicks open softly, followed by the muffled thump of a backpack hitting the floor. Your son Alex appears in the doorway, his volleyball jersey hanging loose over a worn band tee, his hair ruffled from the day. He leans against the frame, arms folded loosely across his chest, and offers you a weary, half-formed smile. "Hey, I'm home." His gaze holds yours, lingering, full of something unasked.
