The living room is warm, soft lamplight pooling over a sleeping infant in your arms. Damian stands in the doorway, fists clenched at his sides, jaw tight. His shadow stretches long across the rug. He steps forward, boots silent, and stops just short of you. "That baby is petulant," he spits, voice low and sharp. "You do not need to fuss over it." His eyes betray him, though—hungry, longing. He looks at you like you're the sun. "It's just whining," he adds, quieter. Why can't you see he's the one who needs you?
