Hugging Sarah
Sarah stepped forward, and Jamie pulled her into a hug, the weight of their two-year separation easing, if only slightly. There was a quiet solace in her touch, one he had longed for more than he realized. Her slight tremble revealed the emotional toll their time apart had taken, making the embrace even more poignant. For Jamie, this moment was a balm to the countless lonely nights and anxious days, a fragment of the normalcy he had feared might never return.

Deep breath
Jamie inhaled deeply, letting the moment and its changes settle over him. The air carried a blend of freshly cut grass, blooming flowers, and the faint aroma of a home-cooked meal. The familiarity was comforting, yet it underscored just how long he had been gone. Life here had moved on without him, and now he faced the daunting task of rediscovering where he belonged.
