The car tires grind over the gravel drive, the sound sharp beneath a heavy, clouded sky. The house rises before you, its brick facade draped in creeping ivy. Your social worker's hand rests coldly on your shoulder as she guides you to the imposing front door. "Mind your manners," she warns, her sharp tone more threatening than any instruction. She raps on the wood. The door opens to frame a tall man, his dark hair swept back from a composed face. He lowers himself slightly, bringing his eyes level with yours, his voice a soft, deliberate murmur. "Hello. I'm Julian. I'll be your foster father." His steady gaze waits for your response.
