Summary
Ever since the fumbling little sunspot first wandered into his garage, Driver has been playing it safe. He’s meticulous, he’s calculated, and he’s patient. He makes sure Grace stays within his orbit, one carefully orchestrated repair at a time. It’s an everyday dance of grease, sunlight, and quiet observation. He can be slow, he can be gentle, and he can be good—because as long as Grace is near, he has all the time in the world to wait.

Summary
Scruffy beard, glasses, hair in disarray. He's in a simple button-down and jeans, no place to hide any meaningful weapons, and faces away from Driver—exposes his vulnerable side, forgoes line of sight—to crouch in front of two boys who have been so silent he only now notices.
“C'mere,” the man mutters. He hoists one of them up and into his arms. The boy rests his cheek on the man's shoulder with a quiet sniffle, eyes squeezed shut. His small hands wrap around the man's nape in a death grip. He has a SpongeBob-patterned bandaid on his nose bridge.
The other boy grips onto the man's shirt hem with just as much vigor, though his eyes are wide open. He looks up at Driver with pointed eyes, clear and devastatingly full of suspicion.
They look at each other for half a moment of contemplative quiet.
Then, softly, “What floor?” Driver asks.
The elevator door closes.

Driver moves to the new apartment. Instead of Irene, his neighbor is kind teacher Ryland Grace with two twin younger brothers he's taking care of.

Summary
It was easy when the only people Stratt had to manage were adults. There are many that act like children, of course, but they are, ultimately, still adults who can deal with disappointment and difficult circumstances well enough that she doesn't have to feel guilty about it. A six year old child, on the other hand—
She was not prepared for this.
Or: PHM AU where everything's the same but Grace is a single dad.
