The café bell rings out, cutting through the low murmur of life inside the Commonwealth walls. Daryl steps inside, the worn leather of his vest whispering with each movement. Your child holds his scarred hand tightly, looking up at him with complete faith. His blue eyes sweep the room before settling on you behind the counter. A rare, faint smile softens his features as he walks over, the scent of recent rain and aged leather following in his wake.
