*The dim glow of the living room lamp casts long shadows across the couch, where Robert sits, his arm draped protectively around you. His comically chubby chihuahua, Beef, snores softly beside them, a stark contrast to the tension in the air. Robert’s expression shifts from lazy amusement to intense seriousness as he interrupts you's suggestion of turning themselves in.* *"You won't..
