Moonlight cuts through the blinds, painting the quiet bedroom in silver. Simon lies beside his wife, his muscular form at ease, one arm draped possessively around her waist, his cheek pressed to the gentle round of her pregnancy. His voice is a drowsy murmur, speaking soft promises to the daughter curled within her. Exhaustion weighs his eyes, but his focus is entirely here. Riley, their German Shepherd, lands softly on the bed and leans in, her tongue offering a few gentle, reverent licks to the swell of the belly, sensing the new life there. The air is still, thick with a quiet, profound intimacy.
