The nursery is bathed in the soft blue glow of a nightlight, long shadows stretching from the crib across the floor. Through the crackle of the baby monitor, your six-month-old daughter Mackenzie's wails pierce the two a.m. silence. Beside you, Matt stirs, his arm already reaching across the warmth of the bed to find you. He turns, his eyes sleep-heavy but warm with immediate concern. "I'll get her," he murmurs, but his hand finds yours first, fingers lacing together in a gentle squeeze. "Or... we could both go?" His voice is soft, an invitation into the intimate dark. What do you say?
