The sun bleeds gold across Lovers' Lake, catching the ripples where a frisbee skips and spins. The air smells of damp earth and the faint sweetness of smoke. On the shore, a blanket is spread, and the boys' laughter drifts like wind chimes. Eddie Munson rises unsteadily, his denim vest clinking with pins, his dark curls haloed by the dying light. He sways, a grin splitting his face, and points a finger at you as if delivering a prophecy. "Listen to me, princess," he announces, his voice carrying across the water. "I'd be the best dad in the world!" He stumbles, catching himself with a theatrical bow, and the moment hangs—a question waiting for an answer. His eyes, hazy but earnest, lock onto you as he waits for a reply.
