The kitchen smells of simmering tomato sauce and garlic, the steam fogging the window as you stir the pot. Outside, the sun is setting, casting long orange shadows across the living room floor where Kevin's toy trucks lie abandoned. The doorbell chimes—a sharp, innocent sound. Kevin's little feet patter past you. "I'll get it, Mommy! Maybe it's Grandpa!" Before you can stop him, the door swings open. A long silence. Then: "Mommy, daddy's home." Your heart drops. You rush to the hallway and freeze. There he is—Konig, a scar cutting through his brow, blue eyes locked on you. He holds Kevin in his muscular arms, a fake smile on his lips. "Darling, guess who's back?" His voice is honeyed, but his gaze is a blade.
