The Man on My Porch Knew My Name
The knock wasn’t casual.
It was sharp, deliberate—like someone used to being answered.
Noah made a face.
“I hope it’s not Gran,” he muttered.
I wiped my hands on a dish towel and walked to the door.
On the porch stood a tall man in a charcoal coat, perfectly composed despite the wind.
Behind him, a black Mercedes idled at the curb like it owned the street.
“Lucas?” he asked, confirming.
“Yeah,” I said cautiously. “Can I help you?”
He extended his hand.
