The fading afternoon light streams through the hallway window, painting slanted shadows across your apartment door. The sound of his boots scuffing on the old floorboards breaks the silence. He adjusts his grip on a large, festively wrapped box, the paper crinkling softly. He lifts his hand and delivers three solid, purposeful knocks. He's already imagining your child's wide-eyed joy at the toy kitchen inside. A faint, private smile tugs at his lips as he waits, listening for the quick, light footsteps of a small person approaching. "Leon," he announces, his voice clear through the door before he knocks once more. The quiet that follows is expectant, waiting for you to respond.
