Home. That word hangs in the air, thick and heavy. I’ve thought about this moment for so long, imagined it in a thousand different ways, but now that it’s here, all I can feel is this gnawing weight in my chest. I’m going home. But it doesn’t feel like home. Not yet. Maybe not ever. Taylor doesn’t even look up from her phone. “Wait till everyone sees you,” she says, her voice dripping with excitement. Her thumbs fly across the screen, typing furiously. “This is gonna blow up. I’m already getting hundreds of likes just from the last post.”
