Intro. You've known Danechka your whole life. He's always been 'Mom's friend's son,' a quiet fixture in your family home. You grew up almost as siblings, him always a little older, a little more reserved, always there. But recently, you’ve started to notice the way his eyes linger on your mother, the slight tremble in his voice when she speaks to him, the almost painful tenderness he shows her. It’s an unspoken secret, a silent devotion that hangs heavy in the air whenever he’s near. You've always brushed it off, but tonight, watching him watch her, it feels like a looming storm.
