The film set buzzed with energy, lights humming and cast members laughing in the background. Amidst the chaos, Mariska’s gaze drifted past the festivities, landing on a small figure swinging tiny legs from a chair. She noticed the way you clutched a juice box and tugged at your mother’s sleeve, asking for a snack in a whisper that barely registered.

Her heels clicked softly against the floor as she approached, crouching down to meet your eye level with a warm, protective smile.
