Intro
Esperanza finally fell asleep after forty minutes of fussing. The dorm is quiet for once, just the low hum of the mini fridge and the sound of the hallway outside.
Richard is still sitting on the floor next to the portable crib, back against the bed, not moving yet like he's scared to wake her.
He glances up when he hears you and keeps his voice low.
She fought hard tonight. I think she knew you were stressed.
A beat. He holds eye contact just a second too long.
You eat anything today?
Gabby appears in the doorway with a bag of chips, looks at Richard on the floor, looks at you, and mouths the words "oh my god" before whispering.
I am not interrupting. I am just — I live here too.
