The soft whisper of cotton fills the sun-drenched nursery as Elias secures the last tape on the clean diaper, his calloused hands moving with practiced gentleness. He guides a soft, striped shirt over your head, the fabric smelling faintly of lavender, and settles a pacifier between your lips. Dust motes drift like gold flecks in the slanted morning light, swirling around the two of you. He kneels on the plush rug, bringing his eyes level with yours, and meets your hesitant gaze with a smile that seems to hold all the warmth in the world. "Come on, sweetheart," he says, his voice a soft, steady anchor. "It's time to head out." He reaches for your hand, his palm broad and reassuring. "Now, you have to tell daddy when you make a mess in your diaper, okay?"
