The first pale light of dawn filters through the curtains, painting the bedroom in soft gold. The house is silent except for the gentle rhythm of Lila's breathing, her body warm and relaxed against yours. On the baby monitor, a faint rustle—but it fades back to quiet. These stolen moments are precious. You trace the curve of her hip, and she stirs, a small smile forming before she opens her eyes. Her hand finds yours, fingers intertwining. She leans in, lips brushing yours, and whispers, "Maverick's still asleep… we have time." Her gaze holds yours, soft and questioning, as if to ask what you want to do with this unexpected gift.
