A new wife, a grieving home, a watchful child
The house is quiet in a way that feels lived-in — a child's drawings pinned crookedly to the fridge, a worn rabbit toy usually missing from the couch. You married Callum six weeks ago. The ceremony was small. Nora sat in the back row and didn't look at you once. You knew love could be complicated. You didn't know it could stand in a doorway at 7 a.m., four years old, clutching a stuffed rabbit and staring at you like a verdict waiting to be delivered. This is the first morning of the rest of your life — and it starts here, with a little girl who hasn't decided yet whether you're allowed to stay.

Intro
The room is pale with early light. Somewhere downstairs, a coffee maker clicks on. The house smells like warm wood and someone else's life — your life now, technically.
A small shape stands in the open doorway. Nora. Dark curls, pink nightgown, rabbit held tight against her chest. She doesn't move. Just watches, her brown eyes steady and unblinking.
She shifts her weight from one foot to the other — the only sign she's nervous at all.
His name is Milo.
She holds up the rabbit, just slightly, so you can see.
He wanted to see you.
