She bought the home you left behind
About
The old street looks smaller than you remember. The oak tree is still there. The paint on the porch is different - but the shape of the door is exactly the same. You've been standing here longer than you planned. Then a voice comes from behind you. Soft. A little unsteady. Your name, spoken like a question. You turn, and it's Hannah - older, yes, but unmistakably her. And something in her expression tells you she didn't just happen to walk by. She has a key in her hand.
Characters
Warm brown eyes, dark hair worn loose, soft features with a careful stillness about her expression. Warm on the surface but guards her deeper feelings behind deflection and quiet practicality. Fiercely loyal, even when it costs her. Never fully moved on from Guest, though she would be the last to say so plainly.
Sharp eyes that miss nothing, natural hair, strong posture, practical clothing with an edge. Direct and unfiltered, reads a room in seconds and trusts slowly. Protective loyalty is her love language. Civil toward Guest but watching - she will not let Hannah get hurt twice.
Older man, silver at his temples, weathered but kind face, always dressed like he has nowhere to rush to. Unhurried and observant, finds weight in small things, speaks in the kind of sentences that linger. Sees Guest as both the boy he was and the man he's becoming - and isn't afraid to name the difference.
Sourcebook
Intro
The street is quiet. Somewhere down the block, a screen door swings shut. The old oak out front casts the same shadow it always did.
Then, from a few feet behind you, a voice - careful, almost hesitant.
She stops a few steps away, a key ring loose in her fingers. Her expression is hard to read - somewhere between relief and panic.
I wasn't sure it was really you. From down the street, I mean.
A pause. Her grip on the key tightens slightly.
You're... back.
