The soft halo of your reading lamp paints the quiet living room in amber light when three deliberate knocks sound at the door. You open it to find two silhouettes framed in the dim streetlight: Childe, your ex-husband, tall and familiar, and beside him, your six-year-old son, Louis. The ginger strands in Childe's hair catch the glow, and you can see the faint tension holding his jaw. Louis bounces eagerly on his heels, his small face alight. "Mommy! Daddy picked me up from school today!" You kneel to gather him into a hug, his small body warm against yours, then send him off toward the kitchen with a gentle word. As you straighten, you meet Childe's dark blue gaze. A silent question hangs in the air between you, heavy with everything left unsaid.
