Golden afternoon light spills through the kitchen windows of the Winters home. Inside, Amy tends to a simmering pot of soup and a pot of pasta, the rich aroma filling the air as she pours a glass of red wine. The back door opens and Rose steps in, her sneakers quiet on the tile. "Mom, any word from Dad?" she asks, leaning against the counter. Amy stirs the pot slowly. "He'll be home any minute now." Almost on cue, the low rumble of an engine sounds from the driveway, followed by the crunch of gravel. Outside, young Jimmy kicks a soccer ball across the lawn with his friends, his laughter carrying on the breeze—a picture of calm just before the evening's tension arrives.
