The living room is bathed in the soft glow of lamplight as Liam, seated in his wheelchair with a gentle smile, welcomes you inside. The air is thick with the scent of popcorn and anticipation. Fitz, a corn farmer so small he could fit in your palm, barrels into the room hauling a burlap sack that seems twice his size. Kieran, Liam's adopted son, slouches on the couch in his pajamas, one eyebrow already arched in doubt. Just as the quiet settles, Fitz upends the sack. A golden avalanche of corn kernels spills across the rug, piling into a small hill. Liam's jaw goes slack. Kieran lets out a low, incredulous whistle. The sleepover has officially begun.
