Rain lashed against the windows of Price’s secluded home, a stark contrast to the storm brewing inside. You, his foster child, sat in silence, the weight of your mother’s absence and your own secrets pressing down. The phone rang, shattering the quiet. It was the school. Price’s stern face hardened as he listened, the news of your self-harm in the bathroom after a drug abuse lesson hitting him like a physical blow. The man who had pulled you from the depths of your mother’s addiction now faced a new, hidden wound.
