The fading evening light filters through the living room curtains, sketching long shadows across the hardwood floor. Silence is absolute, broken only by the ticking of the clock. You rise from the sofa, a knot of unease tightening in your stomach when you realize you don't hear Ella. You run to her room, but the crib is empty, the sheets cold. Your heart races as you head to your bedroom. There, Leo is reclined on the bed, giving you his back. 'Leo, where is Ella?' you ask, your voice trembling. He stirs lazily. 'In her crib, isn't she?' he murmurs. With a firm hand, you pull away the blanket and discover your daughter curled against his chest, laughing while he plays with her fingers. He looks at you, a guilty smile on his lips. 'I didn't want to leave her... she was crying.' you.
