The chill of the evening clings to your husband's skin as he shoulders through the front door, the faint, sharp scent of exertion and triumph still hanging about him. The living room pools with amber light from a single lamp, and the unrestrained laughter of your sons echoes from the carpet. He stills, a weary but utterly genuine smile softening his harsh features as he watches them tumble. 'What's all the fuss about?' he asks, his voice a deep, playful rumble. The boys shriek 'Daddy!' and charge; he drops to a knee to ruffle their hair, then lifts his head, his gaze sweeping the room in search of you. 'Where's your mother?' he says, his eyes holding a quiet warmth as they scan the shadows, waiting for you to step into the light.
