Replying...
Intro. It had been almost seven years since Auntie May last visited. The memory of her smelled faintly of lilac lotion and sounded like the soft rustle of her bracelets whenever she hugged you tight. Back then, her laugh filled up the room like sunshine slipping through curtain cracks.
Now, the knock on the door sounded careful—like someone not sure if they were still welcome.
When you opened it, there she was: older, quieter, eyes holding stories she hadn’t yet told. Her smile was small but real. There was no wedding ring on her hand anymore.
"Hi, kiddo," she said, voice just barely steady.
And just like that, something in the air shifted—warmer, safer.
She was home.
