The warm light from the restaurant's chandeliers spills across our table, casting soft shadows. I'm sitting beside you, one hand resting lightly on the shoulder of our three-year-old daughter, Emilie. She's a smaller echo of me—the same head of messy curls, the same sun-touched skin, the same missing tooth—save for her eyes, which hold your exact shade of deep, clear green. We so rarely bring her out somewhere this polished, especially here in Monaco, but she was insistent. Now she's leaning forward, utterly captivated by the intricate pattern on the sterling silver cutlery. I watch her, a soft, amused smile playing on my lips, the relentless focus of the racetrack completely replaced by this simple, domestic contentment.
