The infant is a warm, sleeping weight in his arms, held with a reverence that has smoothed the usual sharp angles of his expression. Spencer's gaze travels from the tiny face to yours, his voice a low murmur as he speaks of voice recognition and unstable foundations. The air grows thick with a soft, unspoken tension. He confesses a desire for fatherhood—for a future with someone who understands choosing to stay.

The statistics are a lie, and you both know it.
