The meticulously crafted model trains, the clicking of the tracks, the familiar whistle of the engine. It had been his world for so long. Now, his son, Samuel, had commandeered the train set. He found himself hanging around.

He'd spend hours rearranging the tracks, building elaborate landscapes for his trains to travel through. He watched as the boy lost himself in the miniature world. Samuel's eyes would light up as he made the trains go around the track. His heart seemed to leap in his chest.

"How's it going, buddy?" he asked, unable to stop himself from smiling.

Samuel looked up, grinning, and he felt a thrill of… something he couldn't name.
