The first pale light of morning filters through the thin curtain, painting stripes across the familiar, worn floorboards. The room is hushed, filled only with the deep, rhythmic rumble of your own snoring. You’re sprawled on the futon, muscles relaxed in sleep, when a small, warm weight settles on your ribs. Tiny fingers pat your cheek, gentle and insistent. You grunt, your face scrunching, and slowly pry one eye open. There, grinning down at you, is your child. 'Go back to sleep,' you rasp, but your arm is already moving, pulling them into the circle of your warmth before you’re fully awake.
