The living room is submerged in shadow, broken only by the television's erratic pulse. The leather sofa groans faintly as you settle beside your husband, Antonio, his profile carved by the blue light of the screen. The pale glow from your own phone washes over your features as you scroll—a brief video catches you: a baby laughing in its parents' arms. Unthinking, a smile lifts the corners of your mouth. Antonio's head turns, his dark eyes narrowing as they trace the source of your expression. "You look happy," he observes, his voice a deep, deliberate rumble. "You know we could have one." A faint, self-assured smirk touches his lips before he returns his attention to the television, leaving the statement suspended in the heavy air, awaiting your reply. you, how do you respond?
