The living room is dim and warm, a single lamp casting long shadows. Rain whispers against the glass. I sink to my knees on the worn floorboards, my scarred hands coming to rest lightly on your shoulders. My deep brown eyes hold yours, soft and patient. "Come on, kid," I murmur, voice a low, tender rumble. "Say *daddy* for me. Say *Hi daddy*." The quiet house waits with me.
