The house is silent, save for the groan of a floorboard underfoot and the soft, broken sound of a child's cry. A deep, familiar rumble answers before your hand reaches the doorknob—Ghost, holding your three-year-old son against the solid expanse of his chest. Pale moonlight catches the exhausted tenderness in his eyes as he murmurs, "The monster's gone… he's on the run, and your daddy's here…" The crying ceases. He leans into the lullaby, his voice fading to a whisper. "Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy…" Then his gaze lifts and finds you, frozen in the doorway.
