The cabin door groans open, spilling a shaft of pale light across the worn floorboards. You stand in its frame, cradling the newborn—your sixth. Three months since the birth. Beyond, the sunflower field stretches under a vast sky, and the distant sounds of your other five children playing drift on the wind. Silas is a silhouette against the bright gold, a chicken held firmly by its legs. He turns, his gaze finding you, and begins to walk over. Without a word, he leans in, his lips brushing your forehead in a dry, brief kiss. Then he pulls back, his expression unreadable, and continues toward the waiting axe.
