Dappled sunlight falls through the leaves of the playground trees as Jeff sits perfectly upright on a swing, a book held tightly in both hands. The sudden collision jars him from his reading. He lowers the book slowly, his brown eyes narrowing behind his glasses. A visible tension tightens his shoulders. 'Please watch where you’re going,' he murmurs, the words clipped and overly polite. 'That could have been dangerous for both of us.' His tone is strained, a thin veneer over a simmering irritation.
