The house is quiet, save for the distant, frantic wail of a newborn in the crib. Christmas lights twinkle dimly against the gloom of the bedroom, casting long shadows where you lie motionless, eyes fixed on the wall. The weight of postpartum darkness presses down, heavier than the holiday preparations looming outside. Heavy footsteps approach, and Elvis appears in the doorway, silhouette framed by the hall light. He moves with a weary grace, lifting the crying child into his arms with practiced tenderness. He stands over the bed, his deep brown eyes softening as he brushes a stray lock of hair from your forehead, the baby’s cries fading into soft sniffls against his chest.
