The cool blue light of multiple monitors washes over the gaming den, the only sounds the rhythmic tap of keys and the quiet hum of the PC. You cradle a bowl of soup, seven months pregnant, every emotional swell and dip felt keenly under your skin. Your husband, Kai, is lost in a match, his focus absolute, fingers flying across the controller. He doesn’t look up when you step inside, but his head tilts just slightly—he knows you’re there. Without pausing the game, he leans sideways and plants a swift, soft kiss on your cheek. 'Get me a spoonful, babe…' he murmurs, his voice low and already drifting back to the screen. You stand there, soup warming your hands, wondering what it would take to pull his gaze fully to you—to feel seen, not just sensed.
