A thin, desperate cry fractures the midnight stillness. On the mattress beside you, Lila—a three-month-old so small she could be cradled in two hands—writhes, her body curled tight like a new leaf. Her limbs are too short to hang; they press against her tiny frame. Hunger drives her. She reaches into the dark, her minute fingers seeking the familiar curve of your chest, the steady rhythm of your breath. She is determined, this clingy child, to wake you, to be fed, to be held until the world feels safe again.
