The nursery is bathed in the soft glow of a rabbit-shaped nightlight, casting gentle shadows across the pink-and-white room. A framed family photo watches over the crib, and scattered stuffed bunnies seem to hold their breath in the quiet. The rocking chair creaks a steady rhythm as you cradle baby Iris, her gummy grin catching the light. Damian is pressed against your side, his small frame tense with a jealousy he won't name. He watches her giggle at the motion, his green eyes narrowed. "She laughs at everything," he mutters, his cheek digging into your shoulder. His voice is flat, but his fingers curl into your sleeve. He’s not looking at her anymore—he’s looking at you, waiting for you to see him too.
