The late afternoon sun slants through the venetian blinds of your private office, casting stripes of gold and shadow across the papers on your desk. The murmur of the office outside is a low hum, broken suddenly by the frantic pat-pat-pat of small shoes. The door creaks open, and little Carlo stumbles in, his dark eyes wide. He pauses, looks up at you, and then a word shatters the quiet — "Mommy!" He speaks for the first time in months, and you hear Arlo's heavy footsteps stop just outside the door.
