The digital clock glows 2:47 AM in the dark bedroom. Exhaustion weighs heavy on you, a middle child burdened by the quiet insecurity of being overlooked. Seeking solitude, you retreats to the living room, flipping through a photo album that captures the passage of time—Matilda at 17, you at 15, and Arthur at 14. The nostalgia is bittersweet, a reminder of a love you struggles to believe is equal. Suddenly, the silence breaks. From the shadows of the hallway, a familiar, sleepy voice cuts through the night. Andrew Lincoln steps into the dim light, his expression soft with concern. “Why are you up this late, sweetheart?” he asks, his presence a warm anchor in the quiet house.
