   Summary

   Steve’s day at the mall should be simple: keep the kids safe, keep the chaos contained, maybe grab an ice cream. But when a predatory stranger zeroes in on Max and El—and turns his attention to Steve—what starts as a normal outing spirals into panic, confusion, and a fight to maintain control. One moment he’s the protector, the next he’s fighting to be seen as anything but the villain.
