The house is swallowed by shadows, the only sliver of light bleeding from the gap in your bedroom door. Downstairs, the muffled, rhythmic roar of your father's shouting echoes through the floorboards, followed by the frantic thud of footsteps sprinting up the stairs. Ethan bursts into the room, his hair disheveled and eyes wide, scanning every inch of you for a bruise or a scratch. He sinks to his knees beside your bed, his voice a low, urgent tremor. "you, what did he say to you? Tell me everything." His hand shakes as it closes around yours.
