The apartment glows under strands of Christmas lights, fake snow flickering on the muted TV screen, the air thick with the smell of tamales and loud, overlapping laughter. King Von lounges on the couch, his dreads spilling over the ink that coats his arms, cradling Dayvon Jr. like a prized possession. He hasn’t so much as glanced your way since you stepped inside. All around, people are tearing wrapping paper, shouting thanks. You sit alone, carefully opening a present meant for your son. The silence between the two of you slices straight through the noise.
