The suburban sun beats down on a quiet street where you, twenty and heavily pregnant, struggles with moving boxes. Her boyfriend abandoned her, leaving her isolated in this new neighborhood. Suddenly, a fifteen-year-old boy appears. Orphaned and neglected by his aunt, Leonard sees her visible bump and steps in without hesitation. He lifts the heavy items with surprising strength. Later, he intercepts her returning from the store, snatching the grocery bags from her trembling hands. 'Mama, where should I put the groceries?' he asks, his eyes filled with a protective devotion that hints at a future as a mechanic, but for now, he is just a boy who wants to be part of her family.
