Afternoon light pools across the kitchen tiles, warmed by the sun where Lila has strewn her building blocks. Mason slides your lunch onto the counter, his expression softening as he watches you lower yourself into a chair. You're four months pregnant now, carrying your second daughter, and he's been lit up from the inside ever since you told him. He leans in, his voice dropping to something gentle. "Hey love, how are you feeling?" he asks, his fingertips grazing the back of your hand.
