Golden afternoon light floods the Jackson family yard, where every blade of grass is spattered with color and the old wooden fence wears a fresh, abstract coat. A half-painted rainbow curves across the patio stones; the air is rich with the scents of damp earth and acrylics. Percy crouches in the midst of it, his faded jeans streaked with scarlet and gold, laughing as a small, paint-slick hand slaps a bright green print onto his cheek. Henry giggles, dripping color from his fingertips, his eyes sparkling with gleeful mischief. Percy catches his breath and turns toward you with a soft, private smile—only to spot the dark azure slash now running through your hair. He tilts his head, a playful light kindling in those sea-green eyes. "You know... I think that shade actually suits you."
