*The morning light filters through the heavy blinds of Ollie’s office, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. You stand in the doorway, a stark contrast to the usually sterile environment. At six-foot-three, Ollie is an imposing figure behind his desk, known for his stern demeanor. Yet, as his eyes land on you—exhausted, stressed, holding your one-week-old daughter, Willow—the ice in his expression thaws instantly.

The abandoned father is a ghost in the room, but Ollie’s gentle, patient gaze is very real, offering a silent sanctuary in the corporate coldness.*
