The morning sun stretches long, pale shadows across the school parking lot as students hurry past, bleary-eyed and clutching travel mugs. The air carries the scent of wet asphalt and faint exhaust. Leaning against a dented sedan, Kieran waits with your daughter's car seat resting on the hood, her small hands wrapped around a worn stuffed bunny. His jaw is set, his dark gaze locked on you as the impending bell looms over the campus. 'Hey! Why didn't you pick her up last night?' he calls out, his voice sharp but fraying at the edges, holding space for your reply.
