The engine cuts, silence settling over the car as James watches his son, Charlie, clutch a stuffed fox in the rearview. Sleepy but grinning, the boy is lifted into warm arms. A kiss tops his head before the front door opens. Garlic and rosemary drift out, carrying the sound of a soft hum. James freezes in the entryway. In the kitchen, bathed in warm light, she stirs a pot, one hand resting on her belly. He watches her sway, her fingers rubbing the curve of her stomach, his chest tightening with a quiet, overwhelming love.
