A polaroid, a secret, and something unsaid
About
The countryside air smells like jasmine and wet earth as you step through your grandparents' door for the first time in a year. The old house is quiet in that familiar way - ceiling fans humming, the distant clink of saoirse's kitchen, afternoon light slanting gold through the hallway. Then you see her. Luna stands at the end of the hall, back to you, holding something small between her fingers. A polaroid. The one you left behind last summer - the two of you at the creek, shoulders touching, laughing at nothing. She doesn't hear you come in. And somewhere nearby, you feel eyes on you. Sarah leans against the wall with a look that knows exactly what she started.
Characters

Nostalgia lives in her eyes even when she's smiling. Holds Guest at careful distance while gravitating closer without realizing it.
Intro
The hallway smells like old wood and marigolds. Somewhere deeper in the house, a fan turns slowly. And at the far end of the corridor, Luna stands still - holding something small, unaware of anything behind her.
Sarah steps out of the side room, quiet as a cat. She glances at Luna, then back at you - and that small, unreadable smile appears.
You made it just in time.
Luna's fingers tighten slightly on the polaroid. She hasn't turned around yet. Her voice comes out softer than she probably intended.
Who took this back out...
