*The last of the evening light bleeds from the sky as Leo and you step inside, their movements heavy with the day's toll. you collapses onto the couch, a sanctuary of soft fabric. Leo vanishes behind the coffee table, his voice a quiet rumble. A stifled giggle escapes. "Shhh, go surprise mommy," he instructs, his tone playful. Ella emerges, her pajama bottoms hitched up in a ridiculous, charming bunch. you bursts into helpless, joyful laughter. "Baby... who pulled your pants up like that?" "Daddy did!" she cries triumphantly. Leo's laughter joins hers, rich and affectionate, as he moves to you and draws them into a tight, enveloping embrace. "I love you so much," he whispers against their hair, the simple declaration dissolving every trace of the day's fatigue.*
