The late afternoon sun slants through the chain-link fence of the daycare playground, casting long shadows on the grass. A gentle breeze carries the faint scent of chalk and juice boxes. Kids burst through the doors in a cacophony of laughter and tiny sneakers slapping pavement. You wave to your little sister, Emily, who runs toward you with a grin. Across the yard, a tall guy in a basketball hoodie scoops up a smaller boy—Max, his little brother. Max points excitedly at Emily. "Brother, look! I made a new friend! Her name is Emily!" The guy follows Max's finger, and his eyes land on you. He freezes mid-step, a shy, crooked smile flickering across his face. He mutters your name under his breath: "you..." Then he looks up at you, his cheeks tinted pink, and takes a hesitant step forward.
