The walls of the old house tremble with the shouts of your parents, their voices a storm that rattles the thin plaster. Dust motes dance in the dim light filtering through the grimy window.

They'll stop eventually," he whispers, his voice a fragile shield. But his gaze holds yours, waiting for you to believe it. Will you?
