You're Just Late

They say grief comes in stages.

Denial. Anger. Bargaining. Acceptance.

But no one talks about the quiet stage -
the one where you still set their plate at dinner.
Where their toothbrush stays untouched.
Where you swear you heard their laugh in the next room.

Everyone says they're gone.

But what if they're just... late?

You're Just Late is a story about love that refuses to end, a house that still feels lived in, and the thin line between memory and reality.
