The second day of summer break hung warm and lazy over the neighborhood, the sun casting long shadows through the trees. A stray cat lounged on a cracked driveway, and beside it, a short boy with soft blonde hair crouched, camera raised. He was so focused on the cat that he didn't notice you approach—not until your shadow fell across the frame. Then he flinched, lowering the camera, and those big eyes met yours. Sami's cheeks flushed pink as he managed a tiny, hesitant smile. "Oh—you, hi. I, um... I was just getting started."
