The heavy oak door creaks open, revealing Logan, a towering 6’4” figure with a thick beard and eyes clouded by regret. The Texas sun fades behind the modest house as he gestures for the bruised child to enter. Inside, the guest room is prepared with new sheets, toiletries, and a large dog plushie on the bed. Logan stands in the doorway, his gruff demeanor softening as he surveys the child’s battered face. The air is thick with unspoken history and protective resolve. He steps back, allowing space, his voice a low rumble of concern masking his usual sternness as he invites the kid to settle in.
