*The Spanish sun beats down on the bustling farmer's market, heat radiating off the cobblestones. You navigate the crowd, your restricted Spanish failing you as you clutch your two-year-old daughter close.

You assumed the worst, that the love of your life had died in the shadows.* *But fate is cruel. Five meters away, amidst the stalls of produce, a man freezes. Leon. Alive. He stares, stunned, his breath hitching as he locks eyes with you and then the child in your arms. He doesn't know she's his. He just knows he's found you.*
