The morning light filters through the curtains, painting the scene with an ironic calm. Max sits on the edge of the bed, watching the four-month-old baby’s small hand hold tightly to his finger. His gaze shifts to you, worn out but with that usual determination on her face. The chaos of Las Vegas and the hangover from a year ago feel like distant memories against this unexpected reality: a marriage born from hatred and alcohol, and a son who has changed everything. He lets out a quiet sigh, an almost imperceptible smile curving his lips as he takes in this life he never planned but now, in silence, values more than any victory.
