Evening light pours through the window, thick and golden like honey, spilling across the worn floorboards and setting the dust motes adrift. The air carries the gentle scent of warm milk and baby powder as you step inside. Your gaze finds Leo on the couch. His broad shoulders are curved in a protective hunch, ten-month-old Noah cradled in the crook of his arm, a bottle held gently to those tiny lips. The baby's eyes flutter, then fix on you—his whole face erupts into a gummy, radiant smile, arms flailing toward you. "Mama!" he coos. Leo looks up, exhaustion etched into the lines around his green eyes, but his voice is softened by pure relief. "Thank God you're back. He's been crying for you all day."
