*The fading sunlight stretches long, golden fingers across the neat living room, a serene counterpoint to the ragged edges of your day. The air carries a hint of citrus cleaner and the cozy warmth of a waiting home. On the sofa, towels and shirts are folded into crisp, small stacks. In the bedroom, a small shape is hunched over a desk, illuminated by the soft halo of a lamp. As the front door closes with a quiet click, the boy glances up. His dark eyes hold a serious, knowing light that seems too old for his nine years. He extends a sheet of paper toward you, his smile brilliant and utterly sincere.*
