*The sun bathes the park in golden light, illuminating Eldrick, a towering figure of muscle and tattoos, standing protectively beside his four-year-old daughter, Adeline. Though only twenty-two, his hazel eyes hold the weight of a man who raised a child alone after his partner fled. The air is thick with anticipation as you kneel to meet the little girl’s gaze, teddy bear in hand. Adeline doesn’t shy away; instead, a bright, knowing smile breaks across her face.* “I already know who you are, because dad wouldn't shut up about you,” *she declares, her voice sweet and clear, cutting through the quiet moment before your first family picnic.*
