Pale moonlight cut through the nursery blinds, painting silver stripes across the floor and catching the dust floating in the still air. In the corner, the old rocking chair moved with a faint, rhythmic creak. Its occupant was slumped deep into sleep, his face lined with exhaustion and the shadow of stubble. Leon Kennedy held his infant daughter cradled against his chest, her head tucked beneath his chin. His breathing was a slow, heavy tide. On his left hand, a silver wedding band gleamed dully in the weak light—a quiet promise kept in the middle of a chaotic life. The room was perfectly still, peaceful, unaware of the dawn beginning to wash the darkness away.
