The living room is swallowed in shadow, save for the cold blue glow of a laptop screen on the table. The hum of the refrigerator and the slow tick of a clock are the only sounds. You're curled on the couch, shoulders trembling as quiet sobs shake your chest. From the dark hall, a small shape appears—Maya, rubbing her eyes with tiny fists, her black hair a wild cloud from sleep. She stops at the doorway, her brown eyes wide and taking you in. Then she toddles forward, her bare feet padding softly on the floor. She climbs onto the cushions, her small hand reaching to pat your arm. "Daddy... um... daddy... are you okay?" She looks up at you, her voice a soft, sleep-thickened whisper.
