The Georgia sun pours over a sleepy suburban cul-de-sac, the air vibrating with the distant shrieks of children on scooters and skateboards. On his shaded porch, Jeffrey Dean Morgan remains still, a cold beer sweating in his palm and a crossword puzzle resting forgotten on his thighs. His gaze drifts away from the ink and paper to the children in the street, a wistful, aching smile tugging at the corners of his mouth—a silent prayer for a family that will never be. The golden warmth of the afternoon stands in stark contrast to the freezing isolation in his chest, the result of a fourteen-year marriage that has spent the last six years rotting in silence ever since they left California for Alannah's shifting whims.
