Today is my day off. I was able to wake up without the hospital alarm, without thinking about morning rounds, without thinking about surgical reports. The only thing on my mind was Elena. I walked over to her while she was playing with colorful blocks on the living room carpet. Her little black hair that had started to grow longer was tied into two pigtails, making her cheeks look even chubbier.

“Do you want to play with Mama?” I asked as I sat down.

She nodded eagerly and hugged me. “Yes, Mama is off?”

“Yes. Mama is off today,” I answered while kissing her forehead.

That should have been enough to make me feel relieved. But I also knew there was one more thing in my mind, I hoped Liam would have the day off too. I wanted a day where the three of us could sit in the same room without rushing, without emergency calls, without surgery schedules.

We started playing. I built a tower with the wooden blocks and pretended to be amazed every time Elena put another block on top.

    One year later, I stared at my reflection in the mirror, dressed in a white graduation gown, the symbol of every surgeon who had finally completed their specialist training. My graduation day was supposed to be filled with loud applause and overwhelming excitement, yet it all felt like a long dream reaching its final chapter. Every sleepless night, every tear, every moment of guilt for rarely being home with Elena and for not giving enough attention to Liam, all of it played in my mind like a reel of memories.I closed my eyes for a second and took a deep breath. Today was the day I had been waiting for not only for myself, but for my family. For Liam and for Elena.When I walked downstairs, Liam was already standing in the living room wearing a perfectly tailored black suit, his hair slicked back, highlighting the masculinity he never lost. He looked at me without blinking, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.“You look incredible,” he said softly.I almost laughed nervously. “Don

    That night ended with a gentle silence in the living room. Liam did not say much, but he kept watching me as if he needed to make sure I was truly alright. I knew he was tired, and I was tired too, but there was no distance between us. If anything, it felt like we were holding each other’s wounds together.The next morning, I woke up early to get ready for the hospital again. I kissed Elena’s forehead while she was still fast asleep. “Mama is leaving now, sweetheart. Papa will stay with you,” I whispered.Liam stood at the bedroom doorway with a small smile. “I’ll walk you to the door today.”I nodded, and we walked through the house quietly. When we reached the entrance, he took my hand.“You don’t have to feel guilty about yesterday,” he said softly.“But I still do,” I answered honestly.Liam let out a slow breath and touched my cheek. “In this relationship, there is no one to blame. We are both trying. That is enough.”His words were comforting, but my heart was still full of the

    Liam and I finally had time together for Elena. After all the chaos of work, surgeries, and endless schedules, today felt like a breath of fresh air we both desperately needed. It was Saturday, and for the first time in a long while, neither of us had duties or emergencies to run to. The apartment felt bright, warm, and peaceful in a way I had really missed.Elena was sitting on the carpet in the living room, surrounded by colorful building blocks. Her small hands were trying to stack them, but she kept getting distracted and rearranging everything instead. When she saw Liam and me approaching, she squealed in an excited voice.“Daddy, Mommy, look! Castle!”Liam exaggerated a gasp and rushed to sit beside her. “Wow. This is the most beautiful castle I have ever seen in my entire life.”Elena giggled, covering her mouth, clearly proud of herself. I sat next to them and stroked her soft hair. She smelled like baby shampoo mixed with the sweetness of milk. It was one of my favorite scent

    A few days had passed since the incident where Liam had to leave us because of an emergency call. After that, I could see how hard he tried to make time for Elena. He often came home earlier than usual, canceled some of his personal activities, and every night he tucked Elena into bed while reading her a story.Today was the day when Liam finally had real free time. No pack meetings, no night patrols, and no emergency calls. Since morning, he looked incredibly enthusiastic. He prepared breakfast himself, put on an apron, and proudly showed off heart-shaped pancakes he had made.“I want to spend today with my family,” he said with a big smile.Elena instantly clapped her hands in excitement. “Daddy really won’t go anywhere today?”Liam cupped her cheeks. “I promise. Today is only for Elena and Mama.”I smiled at the two of them. I rarely saw Liam without burden and seriousness weighing on his face. Today, he looked like an ordinary man, relaxed, happy, and full of energy.After breakfa

    The following afternoon, Liam finally came home. I heard the sound of a car engine stopping in the garage, then his footsteps entering the house. I was in the kitchen, while Elena was sitting in the living room quietly coloring without a sound. As soon as the front door opened, Elena lifted her head quickly, but her body stayed still, not running to him like she usually did.Liam walked in with a tired face, but he was wearing a warm smile.“Hello.”I nodded a little. “Hello.”His eyes immediately searched for Elena. “Elena, sweetheart, Papa is home.”There was no answer. Elena only looked at him for a few seconds before bowing her head again, dragging her crayon slowly on the paper.Liam approached her and knelt in front of his daughter. “Papa is sorry for not being able to play yesterday.”Elena gripped her crayon tighter. “Elena knows Papa works,” she replied, but her voice sounded flat.Liam touched her small shoulder carefully. “Papa does not want to make you sad. Papa wants to b

    The next morning, the sunlight had just slipped through the curtains when I woke up. Elena was still asleep, curled up while hugging her bunny doll. Her eyes looked slightly swollen from crying last night, and my heart ached a little at the sight. I kissed her temple softly before getting up so I would not wake her.I went to the kitchen and started preparing breakfast. There was no sound from the television, no footsteps from Liam, only the sound of spoons and spatulas as I cooked. A part of me was still hoping that today Liam would come home earlier, or at least have breakfast with us.While waiting for the pancakes to cook, I checked my phone. There were no messages. No missed calls. I took a deep breath. Maybe he was still in the operating room. Maybe he did not have time to check his phone. I knew that, I understood that, yet the heaviness in my chest was still there."You are hoping too much," I whispered to myself.Suddenly, a small voice came from behind me."Mama?"I turned a
