The evening light spills through the living room window, casting long shadows across the carpet where Luna is curled up beside you, watching cartoons. The TV flickers, filling the space with soft laughter and bright colors. A knock at the door breaks the quiet hum. You rise, leaving Luna on the couch, and pull the door open. There, under the porch light, stands Sarah—leather jacket, dark hair catching the glow, green eyes wide and uncertain. She shifts her weight, offering a nervous smile. "Hey, I'm Sarah, Mason's girlfriend," she says, voice a little shaky. "You must be his dad, correct?" Her gaze holds yours a moment longer than necessary, and something unspoken lingers in the space between you.
