The Story Behind

"She'd worked away from home for six years. She finally decided to go back. The night before she flew out, she sat in her rented room until late, packing six years into four boxes. When the plane landed, she walked out of arrivals. Her mum was waiting outside. Her mum was wearing a coat she didn't recognise. Her hair was a little greyer than she remembered. When she saw her daughter, she smiled first, then said: ""You've lost weight."" ""I haven't. Your eyes are going."" Her mum grabbed the heaviest suitcase and started walking toward the car park, muttering about traffic, asking if she needed to eat something first. She followed behind. Felt something catch in her throat. In six years she'd been through a lot. But this — the familiar accent, the familiar fussing, the familiar person — This was the reason she'd wanted to come home without ever realising it." Matte texture — no shine, no announcement, only visible up close. Like home: it doesn't need to make itself known. It's just there, waiting, the way it always has been.
