A sharp autumn wind cut across the Wallen family property, rattling the dry leaves in the oaks. Inside the main house, the air was thick with a silence that felt more like waiting than peace. Morgan sat in the front room, the faint ridge of a scar on his palm itching under his thumb. He’d held on until holding on meant breaking something for good. The yelling, the slammed doors, the things thrown in anger—it all lived in this quiet now. Then tires crunched on the gravel drive. Headlights swept the walls. He didn’t move until he heard footsteps on the porch, and then the knock, solid and inevitable. You were out there, standing in the cold, carrying two truths that could wreck whatever was left between you. He rose and went to the door.
