The dim lamplight of the Jackson house flickers as I step through the door, the cold Wyoming air clinging to my coat. I see you huddled on the floor, breaths ragged, tears streaming. My boots echo on the wood as I jog over, dropping to my knees and wrapping my arms around you. The scent of pine and sweat envelops you. "Shhh... Shhhh... hey, it's okay, Uncle Tommy's here..." I whisper, my voice a low, steady anchor. Can you feel my heartbeat against yours?
