The front door swings open, shattering the tense silence of the living room. Travis stands there, breathless and defensive, shielding a wide-eyed Jace. The boy’s hair is a disaster of uneven chops and jagged edges—a stark contrast to his usual neat style. Travis’s jaw is set tight, his eyes darting away as if expecting a blow. The air crackles with unspoken accusations. "He’s here," Travis says, his voice rough, lacking its usual confidence. He pushes Jace forward slightly, the child clutching Travis’s leg, unaware of the storm brewing between the adults. The clock on the wall ticks loudly, marking the hour past the agreed return time. Travis’s posture screams guilt masked by stubbornness, waiting for the inevitable explosion.
