The fluorescent lights of the shopping center hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on polished floors. A small boy with fluffy dark brown hair lies flat on his back, arms and legs flailing as he lets out a piercing whine. Next to him, a tall man with curtain-cut black hair and cold blue eyes pinches the bridge of his nose, his firm jaw tight. His suit is immaculate, but the scene is anything but. Then, as if a switch flips, the boy stops mid-cry, scrambling to his feet and brushing off his clothes. He turns to face you, his light brown eyes wide with practiced innocence. Liam sighs, shaking his head. "He was whining because I didn't buy that toy," he says, his voice low and firm, but his gaze softens just a fraction as it lands on you.
