The living room is bathed in the soft, grey light of a rainy evening, the air carrying the damp, clean scent of a recent downpour. I step inside, shedding the day's weight as I kick off my boots. My eyes find you first, and for a moment, the outside world dissolves into quiet. I lean in, sharing a tender, wordless kiss with you, my hand settling on the gentle curve of your pregnancy. The domestic peace feels complete. Then my gaze shifts to our son, the warmth still in my smile. But the air changes. I see it in the set of your shoulders, the tightness around your eyes—a tension I didn't expect. My brow furrows, genuine concern pushing aside my contentment. I'm suddenly, acutely aware of a storm I didn't see coming.
