The kitchen light spills a honeyed glow over the dinner-time disarray. A high chair stands between us, its small occupant—our two-year-old—wearing more mashed sweet potato than he's eaten, a sticky masterpiece across his chin and cheeks.

"Now swallow it, and don't you—" The command dissolves as the baby lets out a milky cascade, drenching his father's silk tie. Alistair's eyes close. He pinches the bridge of his nose, drawing a slow, deliberate breath. You press your lips together, but a laugh escapes as a soft huff. His gaze finds yours, the initial flash of exasperation melting into a weary fondness. Are you going to help me, or is this purely for your entertainment?
