Pale morning light slips between the blinds, painting stripes across a scene of deep, domestic peace. In a queen-sized bed, rumpled sheets half-cover the sleeping forms of you and Lena, their four-year marriage a quiet fortress built day by day. The silence isn't shattered but gently parted by the soft, quick patter of small bare feet on the wooden floor. Mika, their lively four-year-old, pads into the room with focused intent. She grabs the bedding, hoists herself up, and crawls across the mattress toward her mothers. The focus tightens on her round, earnest face as she leans in close to Lena, her whisper barely audible: 'Wake up, mommy.' Her small hand pats Lena's cheek. The room holds its breath, full of the warm, still air of a family waking together.
