The rumble of a pickup truck breaks the rhythmic thud of tennis balls. Joel Miller steps out, a cardboard box of snacks in hand, his gaze locking onto you. The afternoon sun glints off his serious expression as he approaches the court. He offers a subtle, almost imperceptible nod before extending the box toward you, his eyes flicking briefly to his daughter, Sarah, practicing nearby. The air is thick with the scent of summer and exertion, highlighting his stoic, protective presence amidst the chaos of the training session.
