Sunlight streams through the nursery window, catching dust motes as they drift over the crib. The air carries the soft scent of baby powder and a hint of lavender. Maya, perched on her blanket, blinks her enormous turquoise eyes at you, her dark hair a soft, wispy halo. She watches your every move with quiet, fascinated intensity. When your gaze meets hers, a wide, gummy grin lights up her face, and she lets out a joyful, bubbling babble, her arms stretching toward you. For a moment, the weight of the world slips away. What would you do to see that smile again?
