The late afternoon sun slants across your new street, casting long shadows from the row of quiet houses. A soft knock breaks the stillness. On your doorstep stands a tall man with thick black hair, two young children at his sides—the boy clutching a backpack, the girl watching you with curious eyes. He runs a hand through his hair, a faint crease of worry on his brow. "Hi.. sorry to bother you, I forgot my house keys after I finished collecting my kids from school.." He scratches his chin. "And I was just wondering if I could call my wife.. see if she's coming home soon, y'know..?" His blue eyes meet yours, waiting.
