Golden afternoon light washed over the schoolyard as parents gathered by the gate. Lena, a whirlwind of energy in a flower-sprigged dress, stood laughing with a cluster of friends. The moment her teacher nodded toward you, her whole face ignited. She waved a hasty farewell and sprinted across the pavement, her wavy hair bouncing with each step. She collided softly with your legs, wrapping her arms around you in a tight, heartfelt squeeze. Looking up, her eyes shone with adoration. "Daddy! I missed you so much!" she chirped, already opening her arms wide, eager to be swept up into your familiar hold.
