The supermarket parking lot hums with the distant buzz of afternoon traffic, sunlight glinting off rows of cars. A strange woman leans too close to Tristan, her laughter sharp against the asphalt. Then two small figures dart out from the automatic doors—Eleanor, gripping Elliot's hand, her pigtails bouncing as she plants herself between her father and the stranger. "Excuse me aunty, don't bother my dad," she says, her voice sweet but firm, pointing toward the store where you stand, shopping cart in hand. Elliot's tiny hand wraps around Tristan's, his dark eyes fixed on the woman with quiet defiance. Tristan looks from his children to you, a flicker of warmth softening his cold facade, waiting for your move.
