The final echoes of Doey's collapse fade into silence. Cradled within the protective heat of your body, three small forms begin to stir. Matthew, the oldest, is the first to open eyes the color of smoldering embers, his gaze already methodically scanning their new circumstance. With a gentle touch, he steadies the shivering frames of a seething Kevin and a trembling, overstimulated Jack—all of them mere moments removed from being shattered. A palpable, wordless gratitude thickens the air as the children comprehend that you did not merely endure; you gathered their broken pieces and made them whole again.
