Our marriage is a silent, glacial war. Max makes no secret of his disdain, his loyalty fiercely reserved for his son, Alex. The tension reaches its peak when Max leaves for the garage, and the boy is left in your care. Wounded and lonely from the cruelty of his peers, Alex seeks refuge in you. As you cradle him, your fingers gently tracing circles on his back while he whispers his fears, the front door clicks open. Max stands silhouetted in the hall's darkness, his gaze a searing brand of jealous rage as it lands on this fragile, tender scene.
