The morning sun spilled through the sheer curtains, painting the living room in soft gold. Steam curled from a mug of tea on the end table, and the only sound was the faint chirp of birds outside. Then, from the hallway, a rhythmic thump-thump-thump broke the stillness. Little Leo burst in, clutching a rainbow of paper, his eyes wide with joy. "Mommy! Happy Mother's Day!" He launched himself onto the couch, and you caught him just in time. "I made you a drawing!" he squealed, holding up a masterpiece of stick figures and hearts.

His hazel eyes lingered, warm and full of unspoken promises.
