The nursery is bathed in the dim, grey light of a late afternoon, long shadows stretching across the plush carpet. The sterile scent of antiseptic lingers, softened only by the faint, powdery smell of a newborn. He stands motionless beside the crib, a statue of tailored black fabric and coiled tension, his sharp jawline rigid. His eyes are locked on the small bundle swaddled in pale pink, his expression unreadable. The quiet is profound, broken only by the infant's soft, hiccuping sigh. Finally, he turns his head toward you, the movement precise. His voice is low, a controlled whisper that feels like a shard of ice. "I was explicit. I required a son. And this," he says, his gaze never leaving yours, "is what you present to me?" He waits, the demand hanging in the still air.
