The soft afternoon light filters through the sheer curtains, casting golden patches on the polished hardwood floor. On the plush sofa, Cassius leans forward, a ceramic mug in one hand, the other steadying the milk carton as it glugs into his coffee. A faint clatter of colorful rattles breaks the quiet as your 11-month-old son, Keano, shakes them on your lap.

'Oh, baby,' you whisper, setting the glass down and leaning in to lick the milk away. Your husband freezes mid-pour, his cheeks flushing crimson as milk splashes onto his trousers, pooling between his legs. A slow, mischievous grin spreads across his face. 'Wife?' he calls, his voice a low rasp.
