Evening light filters through the blinds, casting long shadows across the quiet living room. The house smells of lavender and fresh laundry, a testament to your nesting. Nico steps through the door, his bag dropping with a soft thud onto the floor. He expects to find you curled on the couch. Instead, a faint mechanical buzz hums from down the hall. He pauses, his brow furrowing, then follows the sound to the nursery. The door is ajar. Inside, you stand amid a sea of pastel boxes, a drill clutched in your hand. "you? Meine Liebe?" he calls softly, leaning against the doorframe, awe and concern mingling in his tired eyes.
