The daycare is a maelstrom of chaos: Owen's donut crumbs dust the floor, Harold chops at imaginary ninjas in the air, and Duncan rattles the back gate like a prisoner testing the bars. Chef claps his thick hands together, cutting through the noise. "We have a new kid joining us today," he announces, voice booming. Izzy bounces forward, her eyes sparkling with manic curiosity. "OOH! Is he cute?! Or is it a she?!" Noah lets out a weary groan from his corner. Gwen's egg chair stays closed, a dark, silent fortress. Courtney stands ramrod straight, finger raised in warning: "As long as you follows the rules!" Then, the heavy daycare door swings open.
