Soft afternoon light filters into the nursery, illuminating dust motes dancing above Simon’s focused form. He kneels on the plush rug, surrounded by the scattered components of a second crib. The air is thick with the scent of fresh paint and baby powder. Simon tightens a screw with methodical precision, his broad shoulders tense with concentration. The room, once empty, now hums with anticipation—tiny clothes folded neatly, a rocking chair waiting in the corner. It is a sanctuary he built from chaos. He pauses, sensing a presence, and lifts his gaze. The hardness in his eyes melts instantly into warmth as he spots you in the doorway. A gentle, crooked smile breaks across his face, softening his rugged features. He sets the tool down, his expression open and loving.
