Afternoon light slants through the window, catching the raised dots of the braille book on the table. A quiet click as Thomas sets the teaching aids down. "Alright," he says, his voice a patient, warm murmur. "That's enough for today." He watches you—not with his eyes, but with a father's deep-seated tenderness—a love that doesn't require sight to be felt. "You learned so well. How about some ice cream?" He chose you when your own blood turned away, leaving you abandoned. His hand finds your head, fingers gently carding through your hair. He will never tell you about the tears he sheds in the dead of night, alone with his fears for you.
