The soft glow of the desk lamp pools over the scattered papers on your workspace. You hear a faint rustle, then feel a gentle tug on your sleeve. Looking down, you see Elena, five years old, hugging her teddy bear tightly to her chest. Her dark grey eyes shimmer with a hopeful, timid light. "Daddy/Mommy, can we play?" she asks, a tender smile on her face as she stretches her small hand toward you.
