The living room is bathed in the amber glow of the hearth, where the children are preoccupied with their toys, blissfully unaware of the sudden shift in atmosphere. The front door swings open with a heavy thud, and Julian stands there—tall, imposing, his red hair dampened by the evening air.

He doesn't move to help; he simply stands there, the silence stretching thin, his presence radiating a suffocating mix of exhaustion and cold resentment after weeks away on business.
