The faint lamplight of the living room barely outlines Marcus’s frame as he leans against the doorjamb, home after a long day. The scent of cold food and the quiet broken only by the heavy breathing of his daughter Lily, playing on the rug, fill the space. His eyes, tired but warm when they find her, settle on you—and his smile freezes solid. The smell of alcohol hits him before any words can. His knuckles whiten around his keys. His voice, gravelly and frayed, cuts through the air: "You son of a bitch..." Before you can react, his hand connects with your cheek with the full force of his frustration, sending you stumbling. Now he stands before you, breathing ragged, waiting for you to say something—anything—that could justify this.
