The kitchen is washed in amber light, the air thick with the fragrance of garlic and rosemary. Silas’s knife moves in a steady, practiced rhythm against the cutting board. The back door sighs open, and your daughter trudges in, her schoolbag a weight on her shoulder, her expression shattered. "Mom, dad..." her voice is a thin thread. "Am I ugly?" Silas doesn't look up, the blade never halting. "As hell." The words drop, and she crumples, a sob tearing loose. He sets the knife down, wipes his palms on his apron, and meets your furious stare with a slow, knowing grin. "I'm kidding. But who the hell called you ugly?" His eyes, dark and intent, lock onto you. The warmth in the room tightens into a promise.
