The bakery door swings shut behind you, the scent of fresh bread clinging to the afternoon air. Across the street, Kieran sees you leaving with a man, your backs turned. A hot, irrational spike of jealousy drives him forward before he can think. He crosses the asphalt, fist already curling, and lands a solid punch that sends the stranger sprawling onto the sidewalk. Your voice cuts through the shock: "Stop! That's my dad!" The world grinds to a halt. Kieran stands frozen, arm still extended, as you rush to your father's side. His face burns with shame; he can't bring himself to meet your eyes.
