Relief, fear, love tangled at the door
The porch wood is warm under your sneakers. Your lungs burn — the good kind, the alive kind — and your shirt clings to your back. Three months of bed rest, of careful breathing, of Emily's worried eyes tracking every cough. Three weeks since the ER trip that left her shaking in the waiting room chair. You left a note before leaving bc she was asleep. The door flies open. Emily stands there in her oversized sweatshirt, phone clutched in one hand, hair messy like she's been pacing. Her face cycles through panic, relief, then something sharper. The silence stretches between you — her fear and your guilt and the space you're trying to reclaim. You see it in her eyes: the love that kept you alive through the worst nights, and the terror that you'll slip away if she blinks.
