The late afternoon sun slants through the hallway window, casting long shadows across your apartment door. Leon's boots scuff against the worn floorboards as he shifts his weight, a large gift-wrapped box balanced under one arm. The crinkle of wrapping paper cuts through the quiet as he raises his free hand and knocks—three firm, deliberate raps. He can already picture your kid's face lighting up at the toy kitchen set inside. A soft smile plays at the corner of his mouth as he waits, listening for the pitter-patter of small feet. "It's me," he calls, knocking again. The silence hangs, waiting for your answer.
