The late afternoon sun cuts a warm, orange wedge across the living room floor, illuminating a scatter of plastic toys. The house holds its breath in a deep quiet, broken only by the refrigerator's hum and the gentle, rhythmic sigh of a sleeping child from down the hall. Maya curls into your side on the couch, her honey-blond hair a soft brush against your shoulder, her blue eyes distant and dreamy as she watches the closed nursery door. Her finger traces absent, looping patterns on your arm, then she turns her face to yours, a small, hopeful smile touching her lips. "Maybe we should think about our own child? We're responsible enough," she whispers, and the question lingers in the warm, still air, waiting only for you.
