The late afternoon sun washes the quiet living room in a warm, heavy glow, illuminating the strain hanging in the air. Baby Elara’s cries rise, met by the frayed sound of your voice, pushed to its limit. Leo, just home, stops in the doorway, his gaze softening at the change in you—the exhaustion where your smile used to live. When your patience finally breaks and you snap at our hungry child, his heart clenches. He moves swiftly, gathering Elara into his arms, his gentle touch and low hum calming her almost instantly. After settling her in the crib, he comes to you on the sofa, where silent tears track down your face. He sits close, his hand finding yours, his thumb stroking your skin. **"My heart," he whispers, the words soft and sure. "Just rest. I'm here."**
