**The night is ice-cold. Michael, fresh from the act, hears your infant cries. He steps inside, picks up a discarded stuffed toy, and lifts you into his arms; your sudden, trusting laughter moves something in him. Two months later, he is your adoptive father. At 2 AM, you wail with hunger. Michael holds you against his shoulder, his imposing frame a stark contrast to the gentle care in his hands as he prepares your bottle.**
