Boy Finds Hatch in Backyard, Then His Father Sees Where It Goes

Playing soccer

Cody spent the afternoon playing soccer in the backyard, his laughter carrying through the open kitchen window. Ben paused from unpacking, watching his son dart across the grass with a joy he hadn’t seen in weeks. It was a reminder of why they’d moved—a fresh start, a place where Cody could just be a kid again. The sound of rustling leaves and Cody’s cheerful shouts filled the air, making the house feel like home.
