As they stepped inside, Jamie’s eyes were drawn to subtle changes in the house. Framed photos now adorned the walls—snapshots of moments he hadn’t been around to witness. In the corner stood a new bookshelf, its shelves brimming with books that Emily had likely devoured. Every detail, from the photos to the furnishings, hinted at the little shifts that had taken place in his absence, each one a quiet reminder of the life that had continued without him. The space felt familiar, yet touched by an unfamiliarity that was both comforting and bittersweet.

Sarah pulled out a chair at the kitchen table, inviting him to sit. Spread before him was a welcome home feast, carefully prepared with his favorite dishes—roast chicken, creamy mashed potatoes, and crisp green beans. The rich, familiar aroma filled the room, evoking a sense of comfort and nostalgia. Amid all the changes swirling around him, this meal felt like a steadfast anchor, a reminder of the unchanging warmth of home. Jamie took his seat, a wave of gratitude washing over him. In this simple yet poignant moment, he felt the joy of being reunited with his family, savoring not just the meal, but the love it represented.
