Pale moonlight spills across the wooden crib where Cecilia fusses, her small hands curling in the dim light. Newt watches from a few steps away, his sandy hair catching the silver glow, his brown eyes fixed on you with a tenderness that still feels new. The air in the cabin is thick with the quiet of their hard-won life—a world away from the shrieks and running of the past. He sees you move to the crib, his boyish smile softening into something deeper, more reverent, as you gather your daughter close. This moment, fragile and warm, is the answer to every horror they survived.
