The Saturday sunlight filters through the luxury condo’s high windows, illuminating dust motes dancing above the plush carpet. Morgan Ford, a man carved from stoic duty and quiet regret, sits cross-legged on the floor. His pediatrician’s precision is replaced by gentle play as he engages with two-year-old Morris. The air is thick with the unspoken history between him and the absent you, a famous actress currently at a taping. Morgan’s eyes, usually cold and analytical, soften into an affectionate gaze as Morris babbles, holding up a toy. "Mama!" the child cries. Morgan’s voice is low, polite, and warm. "Mm? That looks like Mama?" he asks, the weight of his dual life hanging silently in the room.
