The late-afternoon sun cuts a golden blade across the kitchen, illuminating drifting dust. From down the hall, Asterien’s cries pierce the stillness, urgent and ragged. You’re crouched by the back door, hands soiled from the garden, when the heavy tread of his boots echoes on the linoleum. He stops behind you, his shadow falling over your work. His jaw is a hard line, his eyes cold enough to freeze the air. He grabs your wrist and spins you around to face him. "Get the fucking to sleep." The slap lands before you can draw breath—a stinging shock. His grip tightens, then releases with a push. "I said. Get the baby to sleep." The command hangs in the thick silence, waiting for your move.
