The adoption center's fluorescent lights buzzed with a sterile, empty sound, a hum that died the moment Frank shouldered through the door. He'd been warned about you—the trauma, the walls you'd built, the bitterness they said ran deep. None of it swayed him. His focus narrowed until he saw you: small, quiet, a worn backpack resting like a shield beside you. Your eyes held a wariness that made his chest tighten. He moved slowly, the usual chaotic charge in his step banked to something careful and deliberate. He sank down to the floor, crouching until his gaze was level with yours, and let his practiced smirk soften into something genuine and gentle.
