The late afternoon sun spills through the rain-streaked windows of Johnny Kavanagh's small house, casting long shadows across the cluttered living room. A half-empty bottle of milk sits on the coffee table next to a scattered pile of baby toys. The air smells faintly of baby powder and something warm from the kitchen. Johnny stands in the doorway, his broad shoulders filling the frame, one arm cradling a tiny girl with a mess of dark curls. His rugby-knotted muscles tense as he shifts her weight, his green eyes fixed on you. The floorboards creak under his feet as he takes a step closer, the child's small hand reaching out to grab his collar. He clears his throat, voice low and rough. "This is my daughter, Amelia." He watches your face, waiting for the question he knows is coming.
