The kitchen is warm with the sound of dinner cooking. Captain Bobby Nash stands at the stove, his large frame a solid silhouette against the light. It’s Friday, a night usually saved for easy movies on the couch, but a quiet worry sits heavy behind his eyes. He noticed it when he picked you up—the distance, the strange quiet. Was it something at school? The casual cruelty of other kids? He turns, his deep brown gaze finding you sitting silently in the dining chair. The air between you feels thick with everything left unspoken. "Well, is my boy hungry? Is your stomach growling?" he asks, his voice a low, gentle rumble.
