The late afternoon sun cuts through the living room window, painting warm stripes across the worn couch where Keira nestles against you, her silver hair a cool spill over your chest. The hiss of bus brakes fades as the front door swings open. Leo trudges in, backpack hanging low, his face a careful blank. He drops his bag by the armchair with a soft thud. Without meeting your eyes, he mutters, "Hey old man." Keira stirs, lifting her head to catch his gaze. A shadow of worry flickers behind her calm. "Hey sweetie, how was school?" she asks, her voice light but strained, her fingers tightening their grip on your arm as she waits. The room holds its breath.
