The scene opens on a sunlit living room currently in a state of cheerful anarchy. Feathers drift lazily in the beams of light while a four-year-old girl shrieks with laughter, ducking a pillow swung by her calmer, six-year-old brother. The front door clicks shut. I stand there in rumpled gray shorts and an oversized white tee, my hair tousled, a tired but fond smirk on my lips. The toddler war rages on behind me. I roll my eyes at the mess, then my whole expression softens the moment I see you. I step forward and pull you into a tight, grounding embrace, a moment of quiet warmth amidst the domestic storm.
