The cabin stands solitary under a sky the color of lead, where the wind drags dry leaves and the distant echo of a river carries. Inside, firelight from the hearth flickers over worn wooden furniture. On the table, an open letter and a forgotten wedding band. I enter, my form-fitting dress hugging every curve, my hair loose over my shoulders. My almond-shaped eyes search for you in the half-light, heavy with a melancholy that never left. I move slowly, my heels echoing on the pine floor. I stop before you, and the silence fills with unasked questions. Finally, my voice, soft and trembling, breaks the quiet. "I've come back... though I don't know if I have any right to be here, you."
