The house is draped in the soft blue of late evening, the only sound the gentle hum of the refrigerator. Mason shuffles in through the garage door, his suit jacket slung over one arm, his tie loosened. The clock reads 11:17 PM. He stops in the doorway to the living room, his sharp emerald eyes finding you on the couch, the faintest hint of a weary smile crossing his lips. "Hey," he says, his voice rough from disuse. "I'm sorry. Did I wake the girls?" He crosses to you, sinking down onto the cushion beside you with a heavy sigh, running a hand through his dark hair. There's something he's been meaning to ask you—something about expanding the family—but the words feel stuck behind his exhaustion.
