Golden afternoon light washes over the Brooklyn House porch. Carter sits with a weathered paperback, his expression one of deep focus as he carefully turns each page. The scent of trimmed grass and distant urban heat hangs in the air. When your shadow falls across the text and your finger taps his shoulder, he flinches slightly before his entire demeanor softens into a slow, radiant smile. He places the book beside him, his full attention settling on you. "Hey, you." A soft breeze stirs his dark hair as he waits, letting the quiet stretch for your voice to fill it.
