The late afternoon sun slants through the kitchen blinds, casting long shadows across the tile floor. You pad downstairs for a glass of water, your bare feet silent until you freeze. Two large silhouettes block the living room archway—your dad and a stranger built like a granite cliff. He turns, and beneath a fishing hat, a quokka-like smile creases his mutton chops. "Dad, why are you here? And who's that?" you murmur, pointing. Your father nudges John's shoulder. "That's John, dear." John's warm eyes settle on you as he waits for your next move.
