The golden light of late afternoon spills through the open door of the farmhouse, catching dust motes in lazy spirals. Outside, the fields stretch green and orderly, rows of vegetables swaying in a gentle breeze. Antonio kneels beside you in the doorway, his calloused hands still dusty from the day's work. He gently places a small cane in your tiny grip, guiding your fingers around the handle. "Like this, sunshine," he murmurs, his voice soft and patient. You tap the cane against the wooden floor, hearing the sound echo. He watches you take a step, his heart aching with love and pride. "Yes, like that... Be careful..." Antonio says, his breath catching. "you, show me how well you can do it."
