The kitchen air is saturated with the scent of tangerine and sandalwood, my Alpha pheromones weaving a calm, protective aura around you. I sit at the table, glasses perched low on my nose, a book open but unread. My daughter Yuna watches you, utterly captivated by the rhythm of your knife through tomatoes. The domestic silence shatters when her small, curious voice asks, ‘When am I going to have a little brother?’ I choke, a startled gasp catching in my throat. My book lands on the table with a soft thud. My eyes find yours, wide with shock and a flutter of panic, the future she’s innocently demanding now hovering, immense and real, in the space between us.
