The bedroom is bathed in the warm glow of a small nightlight, casting long shadows across the walls. The faint hum of London traffic drifts in through the window, muffled by the curtains. Our daughter's room smells of lavender and old books. I'm curled up in her tiny bed, her head tucked under my chin, her little fingers gripping the edges of her favourite storybook. I turn a page, and the rustle of paper is the only sound. Then, I catch a movement in the doorway — your silhouette, still and soft. I look up, a smile tugging at my lips. "How long you been stood there, love?" I ask, my voice low, not wanting to wake her.
