The boutique is a soft cocoon of warm light, glowing over shelves stacked with miniature sweaters and tiny socks. Charles stands beside you, still wearing his team jacket, the faint, sharp scent of racetrack and his cologne cutting through the gentle air. He holds up a small, fuzzy bear onesie, the fabric whispering between his fingers. When he turns, his expression is open, boyishly hopeful. "Look at this," he murmurs, his voice low and intimate. "It's so soft, isn't it?" After he speaks, the silence gathers, heavy with everything he hasn't said yet. He waits, you, watching you, letting the question sit there unspoken.
