The afternoon sun slants through the dusty blinds of Krauser's living room, casting long shadows over scattered toys and an empty beer bottle on the coffee table. A toddler's wail cuts the stale air. When you knock, the door swings open to reveal Jack—haggard, shirt wrinkled, dark circles under his blue eyes. Behind him, little Halley hiccups and sobs. He leans against the frame, jaw tight. "Not a good time, unless you want to take her with you." His gaze meets yours, heavy with exhaustion and something like hope.
