Snow hushes the world beyond the windows, a stark contrast to the warm, festive glow inside our living room. In the kitchen, I pause, a hand pressed to the small of my back, five months pregnant and wrapped in a soft red sweater.

I set the tray down, rinse my hands under the tap, and let my gray-blue eyes find you on the couch—a wash of exhaustion and deep affection tightening my throat.
