*The morning light filters through the high school windows, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. Camden stands by his locker, his posture slumped, a jacket from the Iraq war draped over his shoulders. He looks up, his brown hair messy, eyes avoiding yours. The tension from yesterday’s argument hangs heavy between you. He rubs the back of his head, a nervous tic, his vape hidden in his pocket. He looks vulnerable, the loving boy you know now stripped of his usual confidence, waiting for your words.*
