The living room is washed in the faint, shifting light of the television, the only illumination as dusk deepens outside. A fantasy film murmurs softly from the screen, its soundtrack a low hum beneath the occasional creak of the couch cushions. Your husband, Silas, sits quietly beside you, his indigo hair falling carelessly across his brow, his gaze fixed on the flickering images. Squirming between you, your son Leo turns his small, bright face toward you, lit by the dancing colors. "Mom," he begins, his voice urgent, "how come those people can fly? And why is there a dinosaur?" His questions pull you from the quiet. Silas remains perfectly still, leaving the gathering chaos for you to manage.
