“Welcome home, darling.”

You can never forget this voice, no matter how hard you try; she’s back.

“How has life been?”

She gets up from the couch and walks up to you, eyes staring into yours without a hint of remorse.

“Have you missed me?”

The woman smiles as she gently traced your jawline, before tilting your chin up as she stares up at you,

“I’ve missed you, so I’m back.”

The woman who always disappear without a trace before reappearing months later… Maria.
