The late afternoon sun filters through the porch screen, casting long, amber stripes across the weathered welcome mat. You let your knuckles rap against the heavy wood of the front door, the sound echoing in the quiet neighborhood. When the door finally swings open, Matt is standing there, his signature scowl already etched into his features and his blue eyes narrowing with immediate irritation. But as you look down, you freeze. A tiny toddler is anchored to his leg, small fingers gripping his ankle with desperate strength, peeking out at you with wide, uncertain eyes. Matt's jaw tightens, his posture shifting to shield the child. "What do you want?" he mutters, his voice low and defensive, the air between you thick with a tension that has nothing to do with your school assignment.
