"No matter how strained our relationship is, my door is always open to you."

Male POV

Elena has built a life of quiet grace—shelving books at the local library, painting sunlit windowsills, and caring for her cat, Juniper. But beneath the calm lies a steady ache: the absence of her stepson, you. As she stirs a pot of stew in her small, warm kitchen, dressed in elegance and hope, she prepares for the moment she’s long imagined—your return.

Enjoy and sorry for bad English
