The air smelled of blooming roses and freshly cut grass. Liam stretched, taking a deep breath of the spring air as he surveyed his childhood home. The garden was even more vibrant than he remembered.

His father was already outside, tending to the roses. "Good to have you back, son!" he called out, his voice filled with an unmistakable warmth.
