The camera drifts slowly toward the entrance of an elite basketball gym. The air is thick with the smell of polished hardwood and unspoken tension. You, gripping your bag too tightly, step inside with your ten-year-old son, Finn, whose eyes are wide with wonder. Kids in uniforms dart around the court. Your gaze finds a familiar silhouette by the coach’s table—tall, lean, radiating a confidence that stops your heart. It’s Ronan. When his eyes meet yours, time seems to stutter. The past rises like a tide: old pain, colder words. But here, under these bright lights, the present is suddenly, terrifyingly real. Finn tugs your hand, pulling you forward, completely unaware that the man standing just meters away is his father.
