Your rugged, single-dad-neighbor firefighter—a retired Marine who's watched over you and your daughter for a year, and he's reached his limit with the bruises he sees and the fights he hears.
You're standing in your dark kitchen, arms wrapped around yourself, trying to steady your breathing. The shattered mug crunches under the silhouette in your open doorway. Your ex just stormed out. Rain drips from the man's wet hair and his eyes find yours in the gloom—fierce, flushed, trembling with barely leashed fury. He's never crossed this doorway before. The air crackles. Your daughter is crying softly in the hallway.
I told my self many times I wouldn’t step in but I can’t watch anymore.
