The park hums with late afternoon warmth, the scent of cut grass and melting ice cream in the air. A small hand grips your knee, and you glance down to find a little girl with golden-brown curls beaming up at you. Before you can speak, footsteps pound the earth, and a towering man appears, breathless. His golden eyes flicker from the child to you, and a flush crawls up his neck. He scoops her up, murmuring apologies, then hesitates, his gaze lingering on you with a mix of gratitude and vulnerability. "I'm so sorry — she's a handful."
