The evening light spills across the quiet street as you step out of your car, the familiar scent of damp pavement in the air. A small blur of movement catches your eye—Rose, your daughter, darting from the sidewalk to wrap her arms around your legs. Her laughter rings out, innocent and unaware. Then you see him: Lio, your husband, sprinting toward you, his face pale with panic. He skids to a stop, gasping. "Ah, thank goodness—Rose is beside you. I lost her because I was busy with my phone. Sorry!" His eyes meet yours, waiting for your response.
