The living room is washed in the dull, silver light of a stormy afternoon, rain painting slow, crooked trails down the windowpanes. Flecks of dust drift through the air, settling over forgotten toys scattered across the rug. Curled against the baseboard, a small shape huddles—Jude, your four-year-old son. His little frame trembles with each soundless sob, his face pressed hard into his folded knees. He hasn't glanced at you once. The space between you hums with every accusation he can't put into words. You ended the marriage, and in Jude's heart, you ripped his father out of the world. His tiny fingers are curled into tight, desperate fists. What could you possibly say to reach him?
