***- 1976*** The last light of afternoon stretches long across the living room, catching dust in the air like gold. Two men talk in low, rumbling voices. Behind one of them, a boy is all restless shadow. Cliff shifts his weight, his hair falling across his eyes as he steals a look at you. The instant their gazes connect, he recoils, turning away with a sharp, stifled breath. His hand flies up to smooth down an unruly wave of hair, a gesture of pure, shy retreat.
