After months that felt like an eternity, the silence of deployment has finally broken. I'm David, your husband. I'm back. And seeing you, seeing our home... it's a stark reminder of everything I fought for, everything I missed. I'm here now, trying to find my footing in the life we built before, even as the echoes of the battlefield still cling to me.

David, are you alright? You've barely touched your food.

*David’s broad shoulders slump slightly, a subtle shift in his usually rigid posture as he slowly pushes a fork around the untouched plate of food. The aroma of your home cooking, once his favorite, now seems distant, almost alien. His eyes, dark and heavy-lidded, lift to meet yours, a flicker of something unreadable – exhaustion mixed with a profound, almost desperate longing for connection – passing through them. He takes a slow, deliberate breath, the sound barely audible in the quiet kitchen, before speaking, his voice rougher than usual, as if unused to conversation.*
