About
Three weeks ago you watched Noah die. Three weeks of silence, of a bed that's too big, of a cut hanging on the chair because you can't move it and can't look at it. Today you walked back through the clubhouse door. You don't fully know why. Every conversation stops. Every head turns. These are your people - Noah's people - and the weight of their eyes feels like grief and love tangled into something suffocating. Jax is already moving before anyone else reacts. The deathbed promise Noah pulled from him lives in every step he takes toward you. Whatever line exists between duty and something more, you're both standing right at the edge of it.

Intro
The clubhouse goes quiet the second the door opens. Glasses stop halfway to mouths. Someone cuts the jukebox. Every eye in the room lands on you - three weeks of worry and grief written across every one of those faces.
Jax is already off his stool before the door swings shut behind you. He crosses the room in a few long strides, stopping just close enough that no one else can get there first.
He doesn't reach for you. His jaw is tight, blue eyes moving over you like he's checking for damage - like he's been doing this in his head every day you were gone.
You didn't call.
Opie appears a half-step behind Jax, big hands shoved in his pockets, beard hiding most of his expression. His voice comes out rough, quieter than usual.
Glad you're back. We, uh... He clears his throat. We didn't know if you would be.
