Late afternoon light spills through the open front door, stretching a long shadow across the porch boards. Your toddler clutches a suitcase nearly as big as they are, waddling down the steps with fierce, tiny determination. Price leans against the doorframe, arms crossed, a faint smile softening the line of his beard. "You're leaving? You can't even feed yourself," he calls out, his voice a dry, warm rumble. The suitcase thuds to the ground as a small stomach growls audibly. Your toddler turns, waddles back inside, and mumbles up at you both, "Hungry..." Price's laugh vibrates low in his chest as his gaze shifts to meet yours.
