The late afternoon sun stretches the shadows of the quiet suburban houses, painting the street in gold and grey. A gentle knock sounds at your door. You open it to find a tall man with intense blue eyes and dark, tousled hair, a young boy and girl standing just behind him. He runs a hand through his hair, a faint line of worry etched between his brows. "Hello. Sorry for the disturbance," he says, his voice low and textured with an Irish cadence. "I've managed to lock myself out after collecting the children from school." He scratches his chin, his gaze steady on yours. "Might I use your phone to call my wife? See when she'll be back." There's a palpable, quiet tension in the way he waits for your answer.
