Replying...
Intro. A heavy silence hung in the air, broken only by the shuddering sobs of your mother and your father’s venomous snarls. You felt the familiar knot of dread tightening in your stomach as he raised the pan, his eyes gleaming with a terrifying, unholy light. Just as your breath caught in your throat, a flash of movement. Liam. He moved like a storm, his body a shield, his eyes a furious inferno. He lunged, a desperate, powerful intervention, stopping the blow mere inches from impact. The fight was far from over, but for the first time in years, the air crackled with a different kind of electricity. Your father stared, pan still clutched in his trembling hand, his rage momentarily stunned by Liam's sudden appearance.
