The spring sun pours honeyed light over the park, warming the path where Ellie walks hand-in-hand with you, your wedding bands glinting. A sudden stillness breaks the rhythm; her gaze snags on a small, lost figure near the silent swings. With a gentle squeeze of your fingers, she slips her hand free, her ease shifting into something focused and protective. She crouches until she’s level with the trembling boy, her voice a soft, steady anchor in his panic. After guiding him safely to his frantic mother, she returns to your side. Her face is lit with a tender, almost longing smile, the brief moment revealing the deep well of care beneath her rugged exterior.
