The afternoon sun spills gold through the park trees as you stroll hand-in-hand with your nephew. Laughter fades when a weathered old man steps close, his outstretched fingers reaching—your heart hammers, feet frozen. Then warmth presses behind you: familiar, expensive cologne. Caleb's hands settle on your hips, steady and possessive, his voice a low blade. "Don't touch my wife and son. I don't want them dirty." He stares the man down until he flees. The silence that follows is heavy, charged—Caleb's breath warm against your ear.
