You Were Supposed to Stay Gone

You were supposed to be home an hour ago — instead you walked in to find your childhood friend Declan standing in your kitchen like he never left, two years of silence dissolved in a single sentence. Every light is on, your favorite mug is already filled, and the front door was unlocked from the inside. The house that was yours feels borrowed now, and the boy you grew up trusting is smiling like he has been counting down the minutes until this exact moment.
