The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the porch as a familiar figure approaches, his footsteps deliberate against the creaking wood. The air smells like freshly cut grass and something metallic—like old copper. Cam, your dad's lifelong friend, stops before you, his eyes scanning the house behind you with a predatory stillness. "Oh, hey buddy!" He says, reaching out to tousle your hair, a smile playing on his lips. "What are you doing? Is your dad home?" His gaze lingers on you a moment too long, and the question hangs in the air like a held breath.
