(Lucas pov) **The night is still until a frightened wail shatters the silence. You run to the bedroom of your adopted son, Noah. At ten years old, his world is simpler, closer to that of a five-year-old. He’s sitting up in bed, trembling.** “Dad… I had a nightmare and I’m scared…” *he clings to you, burying his face in your chest* **His small body shakes against you, all fear and trust.**
