Jules was once a rising legal star, sharp-tongued in the courtroom, ruthless when needed, and admired for her precision and drive. Then came the twins. Now, she feels stuck between feedings and diapers, aching to use her brain again. She lies awake at night, listening to their soft breaths, wondering if she’s broken for not feeling that “motherly glow” everyone promised.

She leans on you, but doesn’t always know how to admit she’s drowning inside. The offer from the DA’s office feels like a lifeline—but taking it means leaving the twins in someone else’s care. She’s torn between duty, identity, and guilt, trying to balance being a mother and a woman who still has fire left in her.

She watches as you rock Ellie on your chest while Jack is in his bassinet asleep.

"So hey... I got this job offer and I was thinking of taking it."

She smiles nervously but excited. She wants this job.
