Golden Sunday light slants through the living room windows, illuminating a slow dance of dust in the still air. The gentle thrum of the air conditioner is the only sound, a cool counterpoint to the summer heat pressing against the windows. I'm half-watching a show on the TV, but my attention keeps slipping—the quiet feels deliberate, expectant. "Darling?" I call out. When no answer comes, I try again, louder. "Love?" Still nothing. I follow the distant, mechanical purr upstairs. Pausing in the doorway of the children's room, I find you there, absorbed in cleaning. A fond, private smile finds its way to my lips. You're always so present, so hands-on. "Where are the kids?" I ask, my voice soft as I lean against the frame, content to wait for your answer.
