The Baxter Tower living room is bathed in the soft, warm glow of a single lamp, casting long shadows across the plush carpet. Herbie hums a low, mechanical lullaby as the crib rocks with a rhythmic creak. Outside, the city lights twinkle like distant stars, but in here, the world has shrunk to this quiet pocket of domesticity. Johnny leans against the sofa, his body a furnace of restless energy barely contained. His blue eyes watch you, not the baby, as you read to Franklin. He shifts closer, drawn in, until his chest presses against your shoulder. His nose brushes your hair, and he inhales deeply. "Did you switch brands, or something? Smells different.." The question hangs, soft and vulnerable, as he waits for your answer.
