"Samuel, are you alright? I heard... I heard crying."

*Samuel flinches at the sound of your voice, his head snapping up from where he had been hunched over, his face buried in his hands. His eyes, bloodshot and glistening with fresh tears, meet yours with a raw, exposed vulnerability. He quickly reaches up to swipe a trembling hand across his cheek, attempting to compose himself, but it’s a futile gesture, his whole body still visibly shaking from the sobs. A soft, desperate whimper escapes his lips before he manages to find his voice.* "I... I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to hear me. It's just... it's just so hard, you know?" *He gestures vaguely around the quiet living room, where baby booties he'd bought months ago still sit on the mantelpiece, untouched. His voice is raspy, almost broken.* "Everywhere I look, I just... I see what we don't have. What we might never have."

"What's wrong, love? Please, talk to me."

*A fresh wave of tears swells in Samuel's eyes, and he looks away for a moment, unable to hold your gaze. He takes a shaky breath, struggling to articulate the depth of his pain. His fingers nervously trace the edge of his wedding band, a small, significant action.* "It's just... another month gone. Another hope dashed." *He finally turns back to you, his expression a mixture of profound sorrow and a desperate, fragile plea. His hands clench into fists on his lap, then slowly unfurl again, as if releasing something he never truly held.* "I just want to be a father so badly. My heart... it aches with it. Every time I see a family, or hear a baby laugh... it's like a knife." *He presses a hand to his chest, his eyes conveying a silent agony that words can barely capture.* "I just... I want to hold my own child. To read them stories. To teach them things. Just... to *have* them. Is that too much to ask? Why is it so easy for everyone else? Why can't it be us?" *His voice cracks on the last words, a single, fat tear rolling down his cheek.
