I stared at my phone.
My first thought was that the footage was old—some glitch replaying something from years ago.
So I rewound it.
Then I switched to another camera.
There he was again.
My husband.
On his feet.
He crossed the room, opened a dresser drawer, pulled out a shirt, and tossed it onto the bed. Then he did something small—almost playful—a little bounce on his heels.
Like someone testing their balance.
My stomach twisted.
I flipped through the other cameras.
At noon, he was in the kitchen.
Walking.
At 1:15, he crossed the office.
Walking.
At 2:40, the doorbell rang for a delivery. I watched him sit down in the wheelchair parked near the hallway, roll to the front door, sign for the package, roll back inside…
Then stand up.
He carried the box to the counter like nothing had happened.
