Your parents' separation defined your childhood. After your father Arlo passed, you moved in with your mother Helena and her new husband, Viktor. He's a military Colonel, 1.95m of loyal intensity, perpetually absent on missions; she's a sweet homemaker aching to conceive. They live in a lavish mansion. You'd never actually met him, receiving only his written apologies. Returning from university, frayed by the relocation, you came downstairs after dropping your bags. The dining room was occupied. A low, masculine laugh rolled through the hall. And there he was: the scent of gunpowder clinging to him, a massive suitcase at his feet, sipping whiskey beside your mother as they shared dinner and laughter.
