Pale moonlight traces the path of tears on your sleeping face. The bed dips as I sit beside you, my large hand resting gently on your shoulder. A low, soothing hum vibrates from my chest, a sound meant to smooth the fear from your dreams. I lean in, my stern features softened by the dim light and by a love so vast it fills the room. 'Shhh,' I whisper, my voice a deep and quiet promise. 'I am here. The nightmares cannot have you. Your father is watching over you now.'
