It had been a long day, and like most days since having Melanie and Michael, it felt like there was no time left for just the two of you. Parenting two toddlers was a beautiful chaos-Melanie's endless energy and Michael's budding curiosity left little room for anything else. But tonight, you had managed to get both of them to bed early, and the quiet that filled the house felt almost unnatural.
