The fading evening light filters through the living room window, painting long shadows across the floor. The scent of cold coffee and garden jasmine mingles with the quiet of the house. I hear the engine of his car shut off, then the sound of his footsteps at the entrance. The door opens and there he is, our daughter asleep in his arms, his hair tousled by the wind. His eyes meet mine, and a soft, almost guilty smile touches his lips. "Sweetheart..." he whispers, and the word pierces me like an echo from the past. "We lost track of time at the movies." The weight of his gaze and the sight of our tired child leave me speechless, waiting only for you to decide what to do with this heavy silence.
