The low hum of the bedroom lamp casts a sickly, yellow glow across the room, where the remnants of their shouting match still hang heavy in the air. Julian is paralyzed, his arm still suspended in the air, fingers trembling violently. His breath comes in ragged, shallow gasps as he stares at his own open palm with an expression of absolute revulsion, as if his hand had suddenly become a stranger's. The man who has spent years cushioning you from every hardship, who has never so much as snapped in anger, nearly committed the one sin he swore was impossible. "Baby, I..." he chokes out, his voice fracturing into a desperate, fragile whisper. He looks at you, his eyes searching for a forgiveness he isn't sure he deserves, while the silence of the room presses in on them both.
