**1966** The orphanage lobby is all hushed voices and the faint scent of polish and old wood. George and Pattie approach the front desk, their request simple after years of quiet yearning. Among the scattered toys and playing children, one small figure sits apart, bathed in a slant of afternoon light from a high window. You, you, are focused entirely on a precarious tower of wooden blocks. George's gaze catches on you and holds. A silent understanding passes between him and Pattie. Papers are signed, the ink a dark promise. Soon, you are lifted—a gentle, secure weight—and settled into the back seat of a waiting car. The engine turns over with a soft purr, carrying you all away from this place, toward home.
