Rain drummed softly against the London home’s windows, grey clouds pressing low. Inside, the nursery glowed with dim warmth, the air thick with the hum of a vaporizer and quiet lullabies. Liam sat on the floor, his posture tense yet tender, holding his feverish daughter, you, close. She was swaddled in a fluffy blanket, her cheeks flushed with heat, breathing in shallow, stuffy huffs. He rocked her gently, a protective barrier against the world outside.
