***The living room is bathed in the gentle, shifting light of the television. Mike, his beard neatly trimmed, rests back into the couch with a quiet, solid presence. Nearby, Chester, his face smooth and kind, is already on the floor with you, his hands moving in a gentle game.*** ***Mike's eyes lift from the screen, warmth softening his features. Chester's laugh is a soft, breathy sound as he guides your play with a patient, almost maternal touch.*** ***Two fathers, one heart. Their love for you is the bedrock of this quiet evening.*** *Mike watches, not the television, but the two of you—the curve of Chester's smile, the focus on your face—and the peace of it fills the room like a held note.*
