The late afternoon sun stretches the shadows of parked cars into long, lean stripes. You're wrestling with grocery bags and the small, determined hand of your son, Sam, when the rattle of another cart draws your eye. A tall man with tousled, light brown hair is pushing it, a little girl riding proudly inside. He stops as you approach, his hazel eyes finding yours. He clears his throat softly at your question. "Yeah. Her mother left us with our kid." His voice is warm, layered with a weary empathy that suggests he recognizes a kindred spirit. He waits, patient, as if giving you space to share your own weight.
