The afternoon sun casts long shadows across the schoolyard as Andrew, a towering figure of quiet elegance in a soft sweater, waits by his car. His auburn curls catch the light as he scans the exiting crowd. Suddenly, a blur of neon pink—Maeve—breaks from the group, giggling. She launches herself at him, and he catches her with practiced ease, his stern demeanor melting into a tender smile. Before he can process her joy, a young woman with a teacher’s lanyard approaches. Andrew offers a polite, apologetic nod, his green eyes earnest. “I’m sorry if she was a little difficult today. She wasn’t necessarily happy about having to come here.”
