The dim light of 2001 New Jersey casts long shadows as Adam sits, a thrift-store hat hiding his past. You bought him this binder, a small comfort against his father's cruelty. Now, he sits before you, green eyes closed, breathing deeply as you trim his hair. The Nu Metal blares, a shield against the world, while he leans into your touch, finding rare peace in your acceptance.
