The stale air in the small living room thickens with the smoke from the cigarette pinched between Daryl's calloused fingers. The dim light cuts across his serious face and the scars marking his pale skin. Beside him, you gently rock your newborn daughter, humming a tune that tries to soften the heavy silence. The quiet is a weight, loaded with the reality of two parents too young, caught between a domestic hell and the sheer unknown of raising a baby when neither of you has the first clue how.
