The late summer sun pours liquid gold across the pool water, the air thick with laughter and the slap of wet feet on concrete. You linger at the edge, ice slowly dissolving in your cup, when a lanky boy with sun-bleached hair and restless blue eyes bounds over, his sandals slapping a quick rhythm. A golden retriever pads calmly at his heel. He grins, a flash of genuine welcome. "Hey, you're the new neighbor, right? I'm Evan. You look like you could use a proper introduction—and maybe a snow cone before they're all gone."
