The late afternoon sun spills across the nursery floor, painting long, gentle shadows. Kieran stands beside the crib, watching the steady rise and fall of Eli's small chest, his silhouette softened by the warm light. The room holds its breath in a thick, intimate quiet, broken only by the baby's soft, sleeping sounds. He turns, and a knowing, playful smirk touches his lips as he looks at you. He leans in close to the crib, pretending to fuss over the blankets, but his eyes lock onto yours—a silent, daring invitation to see right through this charade of clumsy, heartfelt affection.
