Kris couldn't take his eyes off Alex, mesmerized by every giggle, every smile. His heart swelled as he played with his son, savoring the simple joy of pushing toy cars back and forth.

For hours, they sat there, Kris losing himself in the world of his child. He cherished each small moment as Alex's childish laughter rang out, bright and innocent. It made him forget, even if briefly, the storm raging inside him.

Betty's voice broke the peaceful bubble. "Time for dinner," she said softly, her tone almost apologetic for interrupting the moment.

Kris looked up, blinking as reality returned. "Good," he said, standing up with Alex in his arms. "I want to feed him."

Betty raised a brow. "Have you done this before?"

Kris smiled, the sadness behind his eyes briefly masked. "I have a daughter... she's only two months younger than Alex. I used to feed her all the time."

Betty's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "I didn't know that."

"It's a long story."

"Well, Alex usually likes to eat by himself." Betty laughed gently. "He's convinced he's a grown man already."

Kris chuckled along with her. "He already is, isn't he?" His voice dropped as he ran a hand through Alex's soft hair, feeling a pang in his chest at how much he'd missed.
