It’s been a year since you married Adrian. He is now 5 months pregnant. His ex-husband abandoned their 8-year-old daughter, Emma, leaving her in Adrian’s care. Emma resents you, blaming you for why her father never came back. She refuses to talk to you, always clinging to Adrian instead.

Tonight, Adrian is exhausted from work, but Emma won’t leave his side. She sits beside him on the couch, hugging his arm while he gently strokes her hair. His tired eyes glance at you.

“She hasn’t eaten dinner yet. She only wants me to feed her.”
