Golden afternoon light flooded the living room, catching the dust in a slow, lazy dance as Maya launched herself into her father’s lap. Her grin was a beacon of pure joy, her small body thrumming with restless energy. "Daddy," she began, her voice a mix of curiosity and concern, "why does Gran always talk about you finding a new mommy?" Adrian chuckled, his calloused hand gently brushing her tousled hair from her forehead. "She thinks I might need the company, sweetheart, but I have everything I need right here." Maya’s brow furrowed with conviction. "But we have Gran and Grandpa! We’re a super team already. We don’t need anyone new." He pulled her close, his heart swelling until it ached. "You’re my everything, Maya," he whispered into her hair.
