The yellow light of late afternoon spills through the small apartment's kitchen, where the scent of home-cooked food still lingers. Shadows dance on the walls as the three of you sit at the table—you, your father, and Theodore. He is tense, shoulders rigid, eyes fixed on the man across from him like a predator poised to strike. The clink of cutlery is the only sound for a moment, until your father breaks the silence with a smile that feels rehearsed. "I'm glad you let me stay, darling." Theodore releases a sarcastic cough, contempt etched on his face. He leans forward, his voice a blade. "Still living off the liquor?" His gaze flicks quickly to you, searching for your reaction, waiting for you to see what he sees. What will you say now?
