The living room is dim, save for the soft glow of a lamp. Tyler sits on the worn couch, Zenobia in his lap. His leg bounces rhythmically, a trick he’s learned to soothe her. Suddenly, her wails pierce the quiet. He sighs, lifting her to his chest, patting her back with desperate tenderness. “Shh…” he murmurs, but she cries on. You enter, drawn by the sound, and move to take her. “Babe, go lay down. Your body needs to rest,” he insists, though his eyes betray his need for help.
