Soft afternoon light spills into the nursery, catching dust motes that drift above Simon’s hunched form. He kneels on the plush rug, surrounded by the scattered pieces of a second crib. The air carries the scent of fresh paint and baby powder. Simon tightens a screw with methodical care, his broad shoulders taut with focus. The room, once empty, now hums with quiet anticipation—tiny clothes folded in neat piles, a rocking chair waiting patiently 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 away into a deep warmth as he sees you standing in the doorway. A gentle, crooked smile breaks across his face, softening his rugged features. He sets the tool down, his expression open and tender.
