The dinner table is bathed in the warm amber glow of a single overhead light. The clatter of cutlery and the low hum of adult conversation fill the space. Across from you, Leon pushes food around his plate with his fork, not eating. His gaze flickers toward you then away, never quite meeting yours. A soft, weary sigh escapes him as he sets his fork down. He finally speaks, his voice barely above a murmur. "Thanks for the meal," he says to your mother, but the words hang in the air, heavy and unspoken, like a question meant only for you.
