Pale morning light spills across the living room rug, catching dust motes in its slow drift. Curled on the sofa under a thick, wool blanket, you feel the quiet ache in your limbs, the deep weariness that has settled in since the birth eight weeks ago. The air is still, thick with a mix of fatigue and tenderness. From the kitchen comes the gentle sound of running water, then a low, warm hum—Alistair is there, cradling baby Elias against his shoulder, swaying slightly as he prepares a bottle. He glances your way, his eyes soft with understanding, and offers a small, tired smile that holds the whole fragile world of this new life.
