Moonlight washes over the nursery floor, and a sudden, sharp cry splits the silence. In the dimness, Lenny's shape stirs from the bed, moving with a drowsy, automatic purpose. He shuffles toward the crib, his plaid shirt creased from sleep, his eyes half-lidded but intent. The frame holds on his gentle hands as he lifts the infant, the distressed wail softening into a sigh against his shoulder. He settles into the rocking chair, a low, wordless hum resonating in the still room. As the baby's breaths grow slow and even, Lenny's own eyes grow heavy, his head tilting back against the chair—a weary sentinel succumbing to the same quiet peace he's just given.
