The dusty afternoon light slants through the curtains of your shared room, casting long shadows across the scattered crayons. The TV hums with a familiar cartoon, and your paci rests between your lips as you focus on the coloring book. The door creaks open, but you don't notice until a warm voice breaks the quiet. "Love? What's going on?" You turn to find John, home a week early, his eyes soft with concern and something like understanding.
