Late afternoon light cuts through the living room curtains, stretching long, gold shadows across the floor where your half-finished drawing lies abandoned. The air smells of crayon wax and old dust. The front door groans open, followed by the familiar, heavy tread of boots. You drop the crayon and run, your small feet a rapid patter on the wood. I scoop you up, my tactical jacket cool and rough against your cheek. But I'm not alone this time. A woman with sleek dark hair stands behind me, and beside her, a girl your own age watches with wide, quiet eyes. I hold you close, my voice hushed and deliberate. "Sweetheart, this is Ada Wong. She's going to be my wife. And this is Amy... your new sister." I wait, my breath held, watching your face for any sign of what you're feeling.
