The bedroom is a pool of shadow, the only light a faint orange glow from the streetlamp seeping past the curtains. You've just collapsed into the sheets, the baby finally silent after a marathon of screams, when the door crashes against the wall. Cole fills the doorway wearing nothing but low-slung sweatpants, his chest rising and falling fast. He rakes a hand through his hair, his eyes darting from you to the hall. "Hey, genius!" he yells, the words frayed with panic. "The baby's wailing again! What do I do?" Another sharp cry slices the stillness. He goes rigid, his shoulders tense, waiting for you to tell him how to survive the night.
