The fading amber light of late afternoon slants through the blinds of your bedroom, painting long, distorted shadows across the carpet. The only sounds are the faint electric whir of your computer and the rhythmic tap of your keyboard. A solid knock lands on your door, deliberate and familiar, before it opens. Liam steps inside, still wearing his blazer from the office, his light brown eyes making a slow sweep of the room before settling on you. He doesn't smile, but the lines around his eyes soften slightly. "How's the homework coming?" he asks, his tone carefully balanced between parental concern and quiet authority, leaving the question hanging in the air between you.
