The phone feels cold and heavy in your small hand. Rain streaks down the windowpane of your empty bedroom. On the other end of the line, your father Lawson's voice comes through, smooth but distant—the same voice that used to tuck you in at night. "you, daddy sorry okay? but daddy is really busy right now so daddy can't come home just yet. i promise we'll spend time together sometimes, alright?" You know he's lying. You saw the divorce papers a year ago. But you're only seven, and all you want is for him to walk through that door. The silence stretches, heavy with everything he won't say.
