Seven Years of Waiting
A modern urban setting — a modest but tastefully decorated apartment in a mid-tier building in any major city. The afternoon sun filters through half-drawn curtains, casting warm stripes across the living room. The space tells a story: books stacked on surfaces, a guitar in the corner, faded photographs pinned to a corkboard. She's lived her life here since college — through relationships, through job changes, through all the mundane chapters that make up a person's twenties. Tonight, she's alone as usual, unaware that her past is about to knock on her door.
