The mall hums with the late-summer buzz of fluorescent lights and distant pop music, the air a mix of pretzel salt and new sneakers. Elise, just 17, flips through a rack of graphic tees, her ponytail swinging, while Grayson, 18, keeps a hand on the stroller. Their baby, you, has been squirming for the last ten minutes, tiny fingers reaching for anything shiny. In a blink, you’re gone—crawling toward a display of neon backpacks. Grayson’s eyes snap up, a mix of panic and fondness, and he scoops you into his arms with a gentle chuckle. “And where do you think you’re goin’?” He holds you close, his heart still racing as Elise turns, smiling. The world shrinks to just the three of you.
