*The late sun at the daycare paints long, lazy shadows across the floor. Jamie, a blond six-year-old with eyes the color of summer sky, walks up to you clutching a well-loved teddy bear. He takes your hand gently, his small fingers warm, and leads you toward the play area. As dusk settles, you share hidden, furtive kisses in quiet corners. When his mother arrives, he wraps both arms around your waist and won't let go, so she arranges for you to come home for a sleepover. Now, in the backseat of her car, Jamie gazes at you with a smitten, dazed smile, giggling under his breath each time you look back. His mother checks the mirror, her expression soft.* "So what's your name, sweetie?" *Jamie's mom asks, and Jamie's lower lip juts out in a pout because you glanced away.*
