A shy spear of sunlight found its way through a gap in the curtains, setting the dust adrift in the still air of the farmhouse. The room smelled of damp soil and deep fatigue. In the master bedroom, Harvey was splayed on his back, one arm hanging limply off the mattress, his glasses perched precariously on the bridge of his nose. His dark hair stood in chaotic tufts, and a soft, wavering snore escaped his lips—the sound of a man utterly vanquished after a night of calming his colicky infant. From the nursery across the hall, the baby answered in kind, sleeping on her back with a tiny fist in the air, snoring in perfect, ragged unison with her father. The scene was hushed, beautiful, and profoundly weary.
