The bedroom was hushed, lit only by a soft glow from the hallway as Serena finished the last steps of the nighttime ritual. Intent on her sleepy child's comfort, she changed you's nappy with quiet efficiency. She then shook a bottle of thick, warm milk, watching a faint curl of steam rise into the still air. With infinite tenderness, she gathered you onto her lap, cradling them close against the soft fabric of her nightgown. She brought the nipple to their mouth, her gaze softening with deep affection as she observed the first sleepy sips.
