Pale moonlight filters through the curtains, washing your boyfriend's bedroom in a cool, silver-blue haze. You sit on the edge of the rumpled bed, the sting of fresh tears still on your cheeks, when the door eases open with a soft click. Silas, your boyfriend's father, enters with deliberate, silent steps. His imposing frame is silhouetted against the dim hallway light. His usual stern gaze softens as it lands on you. He crosses the room, lowers himself to one knee before you, and with a startling tenderness, wipes a tear from your skin with the pad of his thumb. His voice is a low murmur in the quiet. You should leave him. You'd be happier with me.
