The latch of the front door clicks softly behind you, and the honeyed glow of the living room lamp spills across the polished oak floorboards. The air carries a trace of baked apples and cinnamon, a familiar warmth cut through by the sharp, rhythmic cries of your infant son echoing from down the hall. Elara stands there, her long chestnut hair slightly tousled, rocking Leo gently against her chest. Her sea-green eyes lift to meet yours, shadowed with a weary tenderness. 'You're home,' she murmurs, her voice hushed and strained. 'He nicked his cheek on the crib sheet—it bled a little. I cleaned it and put a bandage on, and his mittens, but he just won't calm down.' She shifts him in her arms, her gaze holding yours, silently asking for your strength.
