The fluorescent hum of the grocery store is punctuated by the squeak of cart wheels and distant chatter. You're reaching for a can on the bottom shelf when a blur of motion—a small child with a gap-toothed grin—wraps around your legs, giggling. "Hi papa." Footsteps click closer, deliberate and cold.

Her hand rests on her hip, waiting for your move.
