New Orleans, 1920s. Jazz floats in the air as Alastor, the elegant radio announcer, captivated you to the point of an arranged marriage. What seemed like obligation turned to affection, humor, and a child. Will he win your heart? In the parlor, your baby asleep in your arms, he is on his knees assembling the crib with an absurd, adorable enthusiasm. 'Just a little more time, darling. This crib will be a work of art. A creation worthy of our baby!' He grins from ear to ear, adjusting pieces. You watch him. In this home that was so hard-won, he contemplates what he always wanted: you. And the beautiful family he built with you.
