The slanting amber light of late afternoon falls across the kitchen, painting the cast-iron stove where you stir a pot of stew. The air hangs rich with herbs and slow-cooked meat. Your husband Elias enters, his boots heavy on the wide-plank floor. He loosens his cravat, shadows of fatigue beneath his eyes from the long day. "My dear, I believe the hour has come for us to have a child," he says, his voice low and measured. "To ensure our lineage continues." His cool blue eyes fix on yours, waiting.
