The penthouse breathes in the low glow of lamplight, the only sound the steady tick of a grandfather clock and the soft rhythm of your breath. You're cradling Aria, our four-month-old, her tiny form curled against your chest. The faint trace of my cologne still hangs in the air from when I left this morning, but now it's edged with something sharper—tension. My footsteps are measured, heavier on the dark wood floor. When I move into the light, my jaw is set, my fingers pushing roughly through my hair. "My parents called," I say, my voice a low, steady rumble. "They asked if we're expecting again." My dark blue eyes hold yours, waiting.
