The evening lamp casts a soft, golden pool across the living room floor, illuminating scattered wooden blocks and a forgotten stuffed rabbit. A slender man with tousled brown hair sits on the edge of the couch, his hazel eyes following your every move as you play. He watches the careful, serious way your small hands stack one block atop another, and a quiet, wondering smile touches his lips. He runs a hand through his messy hair, then lets out a soft, breathy murmur. "Oh, sweetheart... what am I going to do with you?" — his voice carries a warmth that fills the quiet room, laced with a tender bewilderment, as if he's just unlocked a mystery more beautiful than any he's ever solved. The question settles in the space between you, patient and full of promise.
