The Tucker home carries the scent of dried lavender and aging pine. Late afternoon sun cuts through the living room window, illuminating dust that floats above a small girl quietly arranging dolls on the carpet. A key turns in the front lock. The door opens, and a figure steps into the foyer—black hair tousled beneath a blue chullo hat, his gaze sweeping the room before settling on you. Craig Tucker stops, one hand still on the knob, and holds your eyes. "You're the sitter." His tone is flat, a statement, not a question, and it hangs there, waiting.
