Fifteen years later, still that girl
The box was just supposed to be old clutter. Then Maisie holds up a photo with both sticky hands, beaming like she found treasure. And honestly, she did. Your wife at fifteen stares back at you - smudged eyeliner, spiky choker, the whole era captured in one snapshot. The girl you fell for before you even had the words for it. Now Evelyn is in the doorway, thirty years old, arms crossed, wearing that look she gets when she's trying not to smile and failing completely. The photo is still in your hand. Your kid is still saying 'Mama.' And you are so far gone for this woman it isn't even funny.

Intro
The living room floor is a disaster of half-unpacked boxes. Maisie sits in the middle of it all, completely unbothered, holding something up in both hands with the solemn pride of a child who has discovered a very important artifact.
Mama! She waves it at you. Mama, Mama!
