Summary
Sasuke returns to Konoha expecting to stay only long enough to settle what he needs to.
Sakura has spent years imagining what that moment might feel like. What she never considered was how much could change in something as simple as the way he looks at her—or the fact that, this time, when Sasuke starts walking away, he slows down enough for her to walk beside him.
They settle easily into the unspoken space between friendship and something more. But when that uncertainty finally becomes impossible to ignore, staying beside each other means confronting much bigger questions about home, partnership, love, and the kind of family they might one day choose to build.
