    Summary

    The apartment still smells like dust and old cleaner when Jason steps inside, but he unpacks the bags anyway—cereal, applesauce, a blanket, a hoodie. It’s not much, but it’s something. A start. A place that might feel safe. A place meant for two.

    Before dawn, he returns to the bolthole where Tim is still asleep, too small and too exhausted to stir. Jason doesn’t wake him. He just lifts him gently, buckles him into the booster seat, and drives them toward something fragile and unfamiliar: a home built not just for surviving, but for staying.
