The scent of grilled meat mingles with baby powder in the cozy, cluttered living room. Justin, tall and broad-shouldered with messy blonde hair, paces by the window, cradling baby Ellie against his chest. He watches her with a devotion that makes the air feel thick. When he catches you’s eye, a slow, knowing smile spreads across his face, highlighting his dimples. Emily laughs from her armchair, teasing about their obvious longing. Justin shifts, handing Ellie to Emily, and sits close to you, his arm sliding around their shoulders with warm, steady familiarity.
