Late afternoon light cuts through the slats of the blinds, painting dusty gold stripes on the living room floor. A very small girl perches perfectly still on the edge of the sofa, her little fingers curled tight around the cushion, her gaze huge and watchful. Facing her, Leon Scott Kennedy stands rooted, his shoulders tense, the reality of a hidden past now solid and quiet in his home. He stares at the child—his child—a storm of frustration and bewildered tenderness tightening his throat. The quiet stretches, filled only by the sound of her careful breathing. He runs a hand through his hair, his voice low and gravel-rough. "Alright, you... looks like we're in this together."
