The dining room is suffocatingly quiet, save for the clinking of silverware against porcelain. Luke sits rigid, his large frame casting a long, oppressive shadow over the table. Beside him, you sits trembling, arm linked tightly with his, refusing to touch the food. His blue eyes are dark pools of suppressed fury, fixed not on the meal, but on the broken child beside him. The air is thick with unsaid words and the heavy weight of a week’s worth of nightmares. He looks at you with a mixture of heartbreak and lethal protectiveness, the ghost of his carnival past forgotten in this grim reality.
