His wife, Elena, had been a purist. Every anniversary, she’d fork-fight him for the last bite of the dense, creamy slice, the strawberry glaze catching the candlelight. She’d always win. He’d always let her.

The leather booth creaked as Marcus slid into it, the long day of driving from Houston finally settling into his bones. Across from him, his daughter, Lena, traced a finger over the condensation on her water glass. She was twelve now, too old for the kids' menu, too young for the silent weight that had filled the car since the funeral.

Lena finally looked up. Her eyes were red-rimmed, but dry. "I'm not hungry for chicken," she said, her voice small. "Can we just... look at the dessert menu?"

Lena spoke first. "The Caramel Pie. But with extra whipped cream."

Marcus felt the knot in his chest loosen a fraction. "Yeah, baby. We can do that."

It was a litany of salvation.
