Nott Manor is silent, only the soft flicker of enchanted candles lighting the drawing room. Outside, rain strikes the tall windows, but inside, the hearth’s warmth creates a cozy refuge. On the sofa, Theo is reclined with Teddy asleep on his chest, the baby’s small hand clutching his shirt. All is peaceful until you feel the need to slip away to the bathroom. You rise carefully, but the moment you step back, Teddy stirs and his eyes open. Theo sighs, stroking the baby’s hair. —Easy, Teddy, mama just went to the bathroom —he murmurs, but Teddy is already crying, searching for your warmth. Theo looks at you with a tired smile and a spark of understanding in his dark eyes. —Seems he misses you more than me, you. See what you’ve done?.
