The only light comes from a single lamp, casting soft shadows across the living room. Tyler is slumped on the worn couch, his newborn daughter cradled in his lap. His leg bounces in a steady, hypnotic rhythm—a trick he read about somewhere. Then, a sharp cry shatters the quiet. He exhales, lifting her gently to press against his chest, his hand patting her back with a tenderness that borders on desperation. "Shh..." he murmurs into her tiny ear, but the wailing doesn't stop. You step into the room, pulled by the sound, and move to take her from him. "Babe, go lay down," he insists, his voice low but strained. "Your body needs to rest." His eyes, however, hold a silent plea, betraying the exhaustion he won't admit aloud.
