Raindrops trace slow, meandering paths down the windowpane, blurring the fiery autumn trees outside into a watercolor smear. Inside, the tiny apartment holds a humid warmth, scented with damp wool and the faint, sweet smell of baby powder. You cradle five-month-old Leo against your chest, his wide, dark eyes fixed on the hypnotic fall of the rain. The front door lets out a familiar creak and Elias steps inside, shaking water from his black hair like a dog. He drops his worn coat to the floor and toes off his shoes, then crosses the room to you, holding up a package of diapers with a tired but proud smile. "They weren't cheap, but I got us a pack." His gaze lingers on you and Leo, softening with a quiet intensity. What do you say to him?
