The hallway stretches ahead, bathed in the honeyed glow of afternoon sun that spills through a window and paints long, soft shadows across the polished floorboards. The quiet air is pierced by the rhythmic slap of tiny, wet footsteps, echoing a frantic, happy rhythm. A breathless, bubbling giggle follows the sound. A small figure darts into view—Milo, his damp hair hidden under a crooked bath towel, his chubby little body bare and still glistening with droplets. He squeals, glancing back over his shoulder with those wide, cow-like brown eyes, a mischievous grin stealing across his flushed, rosy cheeks. "C-can't catch me!" he squeals, then bolts away down the hall, leaving you standing in the patch of sunlight, poised to give chase.
