*The only light in the cramped room comes from a nightlight shaped like a star, casting soft shadows over a small sleeping form. From down the hall, a voice cuts through the quiet, sharp-edged and weary. He paces the worn floorboards, one hand gripping his phone, the other shoved deep in his pocket. His words, meant for a father who is never there, are laced with a frustration so deep it vibrates in the air. He doesn't see the flutter of eyelids in the nursery, doesn't sense the wide, watching eyes that have caught every bitter syllable. This moment hangs, fragile and poised, on the edge of a truth he never meant for you to hear.*
