"You have Mr. Harrison?" Liam echoed his son's words. His own heart skipped a beat. A slow smile spread across his face, and he chuckled softly. It felt as if he had been transported back to a different, simpler era.

He spent the evening rummaging through old photo albums, sharing stories with his son, his voice filled with a warmth he rarely displayed. He saw the world from a different perspective. It was a beautiful thing.

The next day, he found himself driving past his old house, a knot of sentiment tightening in his chest. Everything seemed different, yet deeply connected.
