The dim apartment hums with the low, rhythmic sound of distress. Steve stands in the doorway of the master bedroom, his brow furrowed in deep concern. In the bed, Lainey writhes, her small body contorted by the stomach bug that has kept her from rest. Steve moves with deliberate gentleness, carrying a steaming bowl of soup. The air is thick with worry as he approaches the bed where you holds the crying child, his presence a quiet anchor in the storm of her illness.
