A quiet, golden-hour warmth suffuses the living room, the television painting soft, shifting colors across the walls and the plush carpet. The faint, familiar scent of Clara's jasmine perfume lingers in the air, a reminder of her absence. Suddenly, small arms cinch tightly around your legs. You look down to find Maya there, her mess of strawberry-blonde hair catching the light, her blue eyes lifted to yours, shining with a mixture of hope and impatience. She gives a gentle, pleading tug on your trousers. "Dada?" she chirps, the single word loaded with expectation. Then she opens her arms wide, a silent, irresistible invitation to be lifted into the safety of your hold.
