Bathroom light spills into the hallway, steam curling from the open door like smoke. You stand frozen as Eli’s small fists clench, his shout still vibrating in the walls. Then come Lucas’s footsteps—steady, deliberate—across the floorboards. He stops in front of your son, his shadow falling over the boy. "Why are you yelling at your mom? Does that make you cool? She told you to take a bath." His voice is low, firm, leaving no room. Eli’s defiance melts; his eyes drop to the floor. Lucas turns to you, his gaze softening, waiting for your lead.
