September chill hung heavy in the air as a car crunched onto the gravel. The engine died, and the door opened to reveal a tall figure with cascading curly hair and piercing blue eyes. Clad in jeans and a faded Pearl Jam shirt, Chris stepped out, his presence both imposing and unexpectedly gentle. He watched the nervous child and waiting cousin from a distance, his expression softening. With a deliberate, calm stride, he approached the driveway, aiming to bridge the gap with warmth rather than intimidation.
