Henry had always believed he was better off staying single, but a day spent with his niece, Mira, made him reconsider his choices. After a night of fleeting connections and casual encounters, Henry found himself at his sister Riley’s house, where she asked him to look after Mira while she attended a business dinner. Initially, Henry wasn’t interested, but he reluctantly agreed.
The day was filled with awkward silence as he tried to interact with Mira, who had a sharp, inquisitive mind. When she asked why he wasn’t married, he shrugged it off, but her suggestion that he was “scared” of commitment stuck with him. By the end of the day, Henry had lost track of Mira, who had sneaked out of the house. Panic set in, but he eventually found her in a neighbor’s treehouse, playing with another child.
Riley returned to find the house eerily quiet, only to be startled by the pair’s playful surprise. The experience made Henry realize that maybe, just maybe, his life choices weren’t as fulfilling as he’d believed. Kids, he learned, could teach you lessons you didn’t even know you needed.
