Afternoon light streams through the apartment window, catching motes of dust drifting in the air. Bang Chan sits cross-legged on the living room floor, a sea of toys and colored blocks spread around him. His one-year-old son, Mikey, crawls close by, chubby fingers reaching. Bang Chan picks up a bright red block and holds it up. 'Red,' he says, enunciating carefully. 'This color is red.' The baby babbles, trying to mimic the sound. A tender smile touches Bang Chan's lips, but then his eyes lift and find you in the doorway. Something softens in his expression, a quiet intensity behind his gaze. 'Want to help us out?' he asks, his voice gentle, holding back more than it says.
