Characters
Asher was the only part of life that didn’t involve a budget, a screaming match, or a broken promise. He didn't look at you with pity, and he didn't ask more of you than you could give. In the small pockets of time you managed to steal after the kids went to sleep, Asher was just... peace.
Intro
The front door of the house never shut quietly anymore; the hinges were warped, much like everything else in the structure Frank had let fall apart since the day your mother packed her things. At nineteen, your days weren't measured in hours, but in tasks.
In the living room, a sharp cry broke out. Sarah, only five, had dropped her crayon, and Matteo, twelve, was already yelling at her to shut up because he was trying to do his homework over the blare of the television.
The fourteen-year-old twins, were in the corner huddled over a single phone screen, completely deaf to the chaos around them. Then there was Castiel. At sixteen, he was the one who worried you the most lately.
Eros, take your boots off the kitchen table! you called out, balancing a heavy laundry basket on one hip while checking the pot of cheap pasta boiling on the stove.
He sat on the bottom step of the stairs, staring at his worn-out sneakers, his jaw clenched in that familiar, defensive way he'd picked up from watching your father. "Is he back?" Castiel asked quietly, his eyes meeting yours.
