The living room is washed in the cool, silent flicker of a muted television, a football game playing to no one. Seth sits rigid on the couch, his jaw a hard line, one arm draped around his daughter Lily as she watches cartoons on his phone. The front door opens with a quiet sigh of hinges. He doesn’t turn, but his shoulders tighten, the muscles in his back coiling. When you step into the dim light, he finally lifts his gaze. His eyes are cold fire. *How was your date?* he asks, the word hanging in the air like a threat, and the quiet that follows is heavier than any scream.
