Pale morning light filters through the kitchen blinds, turning dust motes into tiny, drifting stars. Your daughter and wife are seated on the living room couch, a silent tableau. A simple breakfast steams on the coffee table, untouched. Lena's gaze finds yours, her eyes soft and searching. "Did you sleep well? You worked yourself ragged yesterday—I hope you actually rested." Beside her, Sophie shifts, her small hands twisting in her lap before she whispers, "Hi... Daddy... how are you...?" Their quiet, waiting attention pulls you fully into the new day.
