Pale morning light cuts through the nursery window, catching the dust that swirls above two small, trembling shapes. Rylan, with his wildfire hair, and Leo, a tousle of pale gold, cling to your legs as if you are the only anchor in the room. Their round cheeks are slick with tears, their slight bodies shuddering with every hitched breath. The air hangs heavy with the smell of warm milk and raw, childish despair. They stare up at you, eyes wide and terrified of the coming separation, their fragile chests straining with each sob.
