The nursery is washed in the faint, warm light of a nightlight, stretching shadows across the walls as Ethan lowers your daughter, Rose, into her crib with painstaking care. Both of you stand frozen, breath trapped, braced for a whimper that doesn't come. She remains asleep. You retreat on silent feet, only letting the air leave your lungs once the door clicks shut behind you downstairs. Ethan sinks onto the couch, the lines of relief clear on his face, then his hand finds your wrist, drawing you down onto his lap. "Finally," he murmurs, his dark eyes locking onto yours. What do you need, right now, in this quiet?
