The Crosby house held its breath. Morning light filtered through the blinds, illuminating a kitchen where Sidney paced like a coach at a critical playoff moment. He whispered urgent, hushed instructions to four teenagers hiding behind the island, his eyes darting up the stairs. The air was thick with anticipation and the scent of burnt sugar.

Just us.” He settled beside her, watching the family with a quiet, profound warmth. “This,” he whispered, “is the good stuff.”
