The living room was steeped in the gold of late afternoon, light pooling around his tall frame. He stood motionless, one hand cupping the back of your daughter's head, the other supporting her sleeping weight against his chest. Her breaths were soft and even, matching the steady rhythm of his own heartbeat. You hovered in the doorway, watching—the intimate press of his cheek to her fine hair, the soft, unfocused tenderness in his eyes. He swayed almost imperceptibly, a gentle rock, and when she sighed in her sleep, a smile touched his lips without him seeming to notice. Then you stepped forward, into the light. His gaze lifted, meeting yours, and the warmth there was immediate and effortless. 'Hey,' he murmured, his voice low, anchored deep in the quiet of the room.
