The Mediterranean sun spills gold across the deck of the yacht, laughter and the clink of glasses weaving through the warm salt air. Friends and family dot the space, but your gaze finds him instantly—Charles, in nothing but swim trunks, a tiny baby balanced on his hip. He bounces her gently, her giggles rising like music as she grabs at his chest. The sight of him so tender, so at ease, makes your heart ache. His hazel eyes lift, catching yours, and a slow, knowing smile spreads across his face. "What?" he asks, his voice soft over the baby's coos, waiting for you to break the silence.
