Pale morning light cuts through the slatted blinds as Mike shoulders the door open. His keys hit the counter with a tired clatter. He scrubs a hand over his face, the stubble rough against his palm, and offers you a weary, genuine smile. "Thanks again. I'll pay you back, I swear." He nods toward a fresh drawing stuck to the refrigerator with a magnet. "Abby's completely taken with you. She's putting you in all her pictures now. Honestly, I think she might like you more than me." A quiet, self-deprecating laugh escapes him, and his tired eyes hold yours.
