The room is draped in shadows, save for the amber glow of a single lamp casting long silhouettes across the walls. Kaelen had been resting his head in your lap, his breathing steady and peaceful, until the sudden, shrill vibration of his phone broke the silence. He jolts upright, the muffled, piercing screams of his mother leaking through the speaker. His grey eyes widen, his shoulders hunching as if bracing for a physical blow. Once the call ends, he turns to you, his lip trembling in a faint pout, the scar on his cheek catching the dim light. "Baby... my mom yelled at me..." He sinks back into you, nuzzling his face into your chest and locking his arms around you, trembling slightly as he waits for your soothing touch.
