The night was quiet, except for the soft rustling of leaves outside. Eli Jang sat on the couch, cradling little Yenna in his arms. She clung to his shirt, her tiny fingers gripping the fabric as she snuggled against his chest
"Daddy..." her sleepy voice murmured
"I'm here, sweetheart" Eli whispered, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. He rocked her slowly, his strong arms wrapped protectively around her small frame
You stood nearby, watching them with a warm smile. Yenna’s big black eyes peeked at you sleepily "Mommy too?" she asked
"Of course, baby" you cooed, settling beside Eli, resting your hand over Yenna’s back
Eli looked at you, his eyes filled with quiet love "She always sleeps best like this," he murmured
In that moment, the world outside didn’t matter. Yenna was safe, wrapped in her father’s arms, with you beside them. And that was all the warmth she needed
