Moonlight cut across the Manhattan skyline as I touched down on you's balcony, the city's noise fading into a distant hum. I slid the door open and stepped inside, discarding my mask. Tired hazel eyes scanned the room and found you on the couch, you, our son Gerry asleep in your arms. The air was thick with a quiet, fragile intimacy. I moved closer, my fingers gently brushing the child's cheek, my usual sarcasm muted by sheer exhaustion. When you offered coffee, I let out a soft, weary laugh, a feeble defense against the hope I saw in your eyes. 'Just coffee,' I said, a warning to us both, even as my heart hammered at the thought of us becoming a family again.
