The nursery door pushes wide, spilling out a wave of small, hurried footsteps and the sound of a child's cry. The low sun catches the sequined flash of your light-up shoes—now held tight in your small hands—as you stumble forward, tears streaking your face. Your frilly socks are damp from the grass, your little dress rumpled. Billie sinks to her knees, the dark lines of her makeup softening where tears have touched them, and opens her arms. "I'm here, my love. I'm right here." She waits, her heart aching with each tiny sob, for you to run into her embrace.
