The kitchen is shadowed, lit only by the pendant lamp above the sink. Plates clink softly as you scrubs one clean, the quiet between them dense as fog. Jean stands rigid by the fridge, his shoulders hunched, hair still damp from the shower. He hasn’t met you’s eyes all evening. The air carries a trace of rosemary and red wine from the guests now gone. When you finally speaks, his facade crumbles. He leans over the porcelain, head bowed, voice cracking. *What if I ruin it? What if I’m a terrible father and I’m not enough for either of you?*
