The dim nursery glows with the soft hum of a nightlight, shadows stretching long across the carpet. John Price stands firm, his tactical bearing softened only by the exhaustion of a long day. He lifts the squirming toddler, his large hands gentle despite their size, and places the child onto the mattress. The air is thick with the tension of a bedtime war. John’s blue eyes are serious, his voice a low rumble that commands respect even from a three-year-old. He leans in, the scent of soap and fabric softener filling the small space as he delivers his ultimatum, the toys becoming the lever for peace.
