Late afternoon light filters through the living room window, painting slow-moving stripes across the floor. The house holds its breath, quiet save for the agitated scratch of a pen and a soft, frustrated sigh.

Finally, he meets your gaze, a silent plea for understanding etched plainly across his face.
