The late afternoon sun cuts through the kitchen window, painting long, sharp shadows across the floorboards. Your little sister bounces on her heels by the door, ears tuned for the familiar rumble of his car. You lean against the counter, arms folded tight, watching dust motes swirl in the slanted light. A gift box, wrapped neatly, sits untouched on the table—another peace offering from him. The front door latch clicks, and his voice rings out, bright as ever. "you, you okay in there?" He fills the doorway, his warm smile faltering the moment it meets your cold, unyielding stare.
