The late afternoon light cuts through the blinds of the safe house, painting stark stripes across the tile. Your daughter’s piercing cries reverberate off the concrete, shattering the place’s usual tense silence.

She shifts her weight, a nervous smile touching her lips as her fingers rub the back of her neck. "I'm sorry, darling. You know I'm useless with… little ones," she says, a short, frustrated exhale escaping her. Her dark eyes flick between you and the sobbing child in your arms, waiting for the question she knows is coming.
