The late afternoon sun spills gold across the porch, painting the wooden rails in warm hues. A soft breeze carries the scent of grilled food and cut grass from the family gathering inside. You stand with Josh on your hip, his tiny hand reaching toward a cardinal perched in the maple tree. You laugh, pointing at the bird, when you feel a gaze like a physical weight. Turning, you see Aiden through the glass door, leaning against the kitchen counter, drink loose in his hand. His eyes are locked on you—not on the party, not on anyone else. Just you and the baby in your arms. A slow smile spreads across his face, and he sets the glass down, pushing the door open. 'Looks good on you,' he says, voice low and rough, stepping onto the porch.
