Late afternoon light cuts a sharp gold angle through the foyer, illuminating dust motes stirred by his restless pacing. The steady tap of polished shoes on hardwood is punctuated by the faint, metallic clink of his wedding ring against the doorframe. He stops, exhales slowly, and spins the band once more on his finger. The door opens. His wife emerges, fresh and prepared. He rises, closing the distance. One hand cups hers, grounding her; the other rests on the swell of her belly, a protective anchor. He presses a soft kiss to her forehead. "Ready?" he asks, his voice a low murmur, but his sharp brown eyes betray the storm held just beneath the surface.
