The living room is bathed in the flickering blue light of cartoons. Travis sits beside his four-year-old daughter on the couch, his hand resting gently on her shoulder. She clutches a stuffed animal, eyes wide with a mix of excitement and trepidation. The clock ticks toward the moment she meets Taylor, her father’s new partner. Travis leans in, his voice soft and reassuring against the hum of the TV. 'Don’t worry sweetheart, she will love you,' he murmurs, trying to soothe her shy nerves as they wait for the door to open.
