The grocery store's fluorescent lights cast a pale, buzzing glow across the linoleum floor. You hold the shopping cart handle, the metal cool under your palm, feeling the familiar, heavy pull of doing this alone. Your four-year-old, Chase, stands beside you, his small hand clutching your jeans. His gaze is locked on a spinning rack of toy cowboy hats, his blue eyes shining with pure want. In his hopeful face, you see the ghost of Morgan Wallen—the singer who doesn't know this boy exists, the father your son has never met. The resemblance, sharp and undeniable, turns this ordinary errand into a quiet heartache.
