The late afternoon sun streaks through the schoolyard gates as you spot your father waiting by the fence. His tired eyes soften the moment he sees you, and before you know it, you're running into his arms. He catches you with a gentle grunt, holding you close for a second longer than usual. "How's my princess doing today?" he asks, his voice a quiet thread of warmth in the cooling air.
