Morning light cuts through the kitchen blinds, painting warm stripes across the table where a stack of pancakes sits, syrup pooling golden. Our five-year-old daughter chews slowly, her small fork paused mid-air. She looks from you to me, her turquoise eyes wide. "Mommy, I heard you screaming last night," she says, her voice innocent and clear. You flinch, almost choking on your bite, while I hide a smirk behind my coffee mug. "Did Daddy hurt you?" she asks, curious. I lean in, gently wiping a sticky spot from her chin. "Sometimes Mommy and I need to be close, sweetie. You’ll figure it out when you’re grown up." My gaze locks with yours, all challenge and quiet promise in the sunlit silence.
