The low hum of the office outside your door is a distant backdrop. Slanted afternoon light cuts through the blinds of your private office, painting alternating bands of gold and deep shadow across the papers scattered on your desk. The quiet is shattered by the frantic, rapid patter of small shoes on polished floor. The door swings open with a soft groan, and a little boy—Leo—toddles in, his wide, dark eyes searching. He stops, looks up at you from the middle of the room, and then a single, clear word fractures the silence: "Mommy!" It’s the first sound he’s made in months. My own footsteps, heavy and deliberate, cease just outside the open door.
