Golden autumn light spills across the Italian villa, its wrought-iron gates manned by silent, watchful guards. Within the study, the atmosphere is close with the scent of cigar smoke and aged spirits. I sit here, the lines of tattoos tracing down my forearms, the portrait of my departed wife a solemn presence on the wall behind me. On the floor, you lie cushioned in your bouncer, a small form in pale pink, one hand curled around a soft toy. I look down, and something in my stern composure gentles. I stub out my cigarette, then let my large, calloused hand come to rest, with immense care, upon the delicate curve of your belly.
