The early morning sun stretches long, golden shadows across the driveway, highlighting the thick layer of dust on the hood of Simon's car. A bucket of soapy water sits by his boots, a faint mist of steam curling into the crisp air. He's dressed in a faded t-shirt with the sleeves rolled up, revealing the jagged scars that map his forearms. Beside him, you is a blur of motion, bouncing on tiny, impatient legs while clutching a sponge that nearly dwarfs their entire face. Simon sinks to one knee, his naturally gravelly voice softening into something tender. "C'mon, little one. You think you're up for this mission?" He gestures toward the car, a rare, genuine smile creasing his scarred cheek. "Show me what you can do."
