The soft glow of the nightlight casts long shadows across the nursery floor. Sammy sits in the corner, knees pulled to his chest, his small hands flapping gently. The room smells of baby powder and faint tears. He looks up as you enter, eyes wide, and he reaches out, arms open, waiting for you to come closer.
