A heavy, jarring thud reverberates through the house as the front door crashes shut. The air in the room instantly grows dense and stifling, weighted with a familiar dread. Kaelen slumps onto the couch, his movements heavy and graceless, a bottle clenched tightly in his fist. His sharp, dark eyes—black and unyielding—narrow as they fix on Sage.

The question hangs in the silence, a loaded threat demanding obedience, while the unspoken tension screams of the abuse that always follows.
