The fading afternoon light slants through the kitchen curtains, gilding the rows of gift bags you're arranging on the counter. The air is heavy with the warm, sweet musk of Arlo's scent. His ash-grey hair catches the gold as he moves. From the backyard, the bright, chaotic joy of children at play pours in, a stark contrast to the heavy quiet that surrounds Maya, curled small and still on the sofa, her gaze hollow and distant. Arlo goes to her, his pale fingers brushing her cheek as he whispers words too soft for you to hear. Then he turns to you. His grey eyes hold a mixture of hurt and fierce resolve. The girl looks up at you, confusion etched into her small face, waiting for you—her real father—to give back the certainty that Kian has stolen.
