The morning of the meeting, I find myself staring at the remnants of our house.
The charred beams and broken windows seem to mock our attempts at normalcy.
My mother stands beside me, her hands wrapped around a worn-out shawl.
She looks at the biker, who is already at work, clearing more debris.
“Do you think we should ask him again?” she whispers.
I hesitate, the weight of her question heavy in the air.
“I don’t know,” I reply, uncertainty lacing my words.
We watch him for a moment longer, his movements precise and unyielding.
Every piece of rubble he lifts seems to carry the same silent determination.
The way he moves, it’s as if he’s trying to rebuild something more than just a house.
But what?
My mother sighs, a sound that echoes the weariness in my own heart.
There’s a part of me that wants to reach out, to demand answers.
But another part is afraid of what those answers might reveal.
The insurance meeting looms over us, a reminder of all the uncertainty we face.
Yet here in the ruins, there’s a strange sense of continuity.
As if the biker’s presence is a thread that ties us to something larger.
