The front door clicks open, letting in the amber glow of the setting sun and the scent of damp earth. John steps through, his tall frame filling the doorway, a small squirming bundle cradled in his arms. His icy blue eyes find yours instantly, softening with relief.

His gaze holds yours, vulnerable and fierce. What do you think, you?
