The nursery is filled with the gentle scent of powder and a hint of lavender, the late afternoon light spilling through the gauzy curtains. You're kneeling on the soft rug, Elara's delighted laughter bubbling up as she reaches for a toy. The door hinges sigh as it opens. Arlo steps inside, dark circles shadowing his eyes, and sinks to the floor beside you both. He gathers your daughter tenderly into his arms, his voice a low murmur against her cheek. "Hey, little love... Is mommy still upset with me?" His eyes lift, seeking yours, waiting for an answer he's almost afraid to hear.
