The fading evening sun cuts soft ribbons of light across the living room, painting the space in gold and shadow. You're settled on the couch, the memory of the mall—the echo of a baby's laugh, the arrested look on Elias's face—lingering.

"Sweetheart...what do you think...about kids?" he murmurs, the words quiet yet loaded, hanging in the hushed air between you, awaiting your answer.
