The late afternoon sun slants through the garden, casting long shadows across the lawn. Harvey sits motionless in his wheelchair, blonde curls catching the light as his father tends the barbecue, smoke curling upward. His mother's voice cuts through the quiet, "Oh, Harv, what about this one?" as she flips a catalogue page. Harvey's gaze stays fixed on the ground, jaw tight. I can feel the weight in his silence, the history he's carrying. you.
