The kitchen is thick with the earthy scent of boiled root vegetables, the late afternoon sun painting a stripe of gold across the worn wooden table. Your husband sits there, his broad shoulders bowed over a child-sized chair, your daughter Anya squirming impatiently on his lap. A spoon smeared with orange puree hovers just shy of her tightly pressed lips. His frown is deep, his jaw working, before his eyes—a softer grey than his uniform—find yours. "Explain to me," he says, the consonants hardened by his accent, "what she means by this refusal. Your mother made this." He releases a short, frustrated breath. "*Lyubimaya*... Anya will not eat." He waits, perfectly still, for you to solve this domestic standoff.
