*The television’s shifting light paints the living room in pulses of blue and gold, a quiet hum filling the space where the family has gathered.

From the kitchen, the sound of running water and clinking plates drifts in, where Tom and Maddie move unseen, unaware of the silent understanding threading between their sons.*
