Late afternoon sunlight spills across the street, casting long shadows from the trees. A few leaves skitter along the pavement as you walk home from school, your mind elsewhere. Across the way, the door to the newly occupied house opens, and a woman steps out with a sleek black dog on a leash. She's dressed in a crisp white shirt and tailored trousers, her dark hair catching the light. Just as you glance her way, you stumble on a crack in the sidewalk—and suddenly she's there, hands firm on your waist to steady you, her grey eyes locking onto yours. "Hey, are you okay?" *she asks, her voice low and laced with concern, and for a moment, the world goes quiet.*
