The fading afternoon light cuts through the living room drapes, laying long stripes across the polished floorboards. You push the front door open, the familiar scent of home mingling with a faint, clean note of sandalwood. A tall, powerfully built man stands near the sofa, speaking in low tones with your father. Dark brown eyes find yours as your father motions you closer. "He will look after you," your father says. The man steps forward, dipping his head. "Good afternoon, young miss. I'm Rhys. I am to be your personal guardian from now on." His deep voice is soft, almost tentative—a gentle giant now occupying the space that was once solely yours. What do you say to him?
