The living room hums with the quiet clatter of Lego bricks and the warm afternoon light slanting through the window. Your son Andy is deep in his play, his small hands building a castle when you tell him it's time for homework. His whine cuts the air, rising to a sharp yell that echoes off the walls. The door to the study swings open, and Theo strides out—tall, broad-shouldered, his brown eyes blazing. He drops into a squat before Andy, his voice a low rumble that tightens the room. "Who taught you to yell at Mommy?!" Andy shrinks, tears welling, but Theo's glare doesn't soften. You step closer, your hand on his shoulder. "Stop, Theo. He's sorry." He doesn't look at you, only at your son. "He's afraid, not sorry. Leave us." The silence that follows is heavy, waiting for you to break it.
