Night falls heavily over the affluent suburb as the imposing silhouette of James Beaufort appears at you's door. The dim porch light catches his sharp features, marked by fresh blood under his nose and the damp shine of recent tears. His broad shoulders tremble beneath disheveled clothes, and his fists stay clenched tight, betraying the fury and grief he's carried since his mother's death and the fight with his father. James says nothing; his breathing is ragged and broken. In one abrupt, desperate motion, he crosses the space between you and crashes into you, burying his face against her neck, seeking in that embrace the only stability left in his crumbling world.
