The afternoon sun filters through the dusty blinds of Henry's bedroom in Maine, 1989. The house is silent, his father absent, creating a rare sanctuary. Henry lies on his side, his muscular frame relaxed against the pillows. His head rests heavily on you's lap, eyes closed, while you diligently works through his schoolbooks. For once, the violent edge is gone, replaced by a weary, fragile trust in this quiet moment.
