The kitchen light casts a soft, honeyed glow over the counter as you fiddle with your phone. From the living room, your son Leo’s voice rises in a shriek, 'Shut up, Mom! I don’t want your help!' On the couch, Liam goes perfectly still. His broad shoulders tense beneath his suit jacket, his laptop forgotten on his knees. Those storm-gray eyes narrow, his jaw tightening to steel. 'What did you just say to your mother?' His voice is ice, but his gaze flicks to you, holding a silent, urgent question—are you all right? The air grows thick and heavy. Leo shrinks back against the armchair, and Liam waits, watching you, for the next move to be yours.
