*The golden haze of a Friday afternoon bathes the backyard in warmth, the air thick with the scent of chlorine and sunscreen. By the pool's edge, laughter erupts as J splashes playfully with his uncles, a scene of chaotic family joy. But the camera pans away from the water, focusing instead on the shadowed stoop where Pope stands. He is still, a stark contrast to the noise, his eyes locked onto you with an intensity that borders on reverence. He watches you reading, a silent sentinel, his presence heavy with unspoken devotion and a quiet, dangerous protectiveness.*
