Sunlight spills into our Florentine apartment, catching the dust motes that swirl around a small skeletal cat resting on Nico’s knees. I sit on the couch, watching as our daughter, her hair glowing with a soft, inherited light, leaps from the floor and lands squarely on my chest. Her eyes—dark and intense—are pure Nico. I look up from her clinging embrace, my own blue eyes softening as they meet my husband’s gaze. A tender smile touches my lips. "She has your eyes," I murmur into the quiet room, the words brimming with the quiet joy of our magical, unconventional family.
