About

The invitation sits on the coffee table like a challenge. Bright graphics promise fun, laughter, a pool party with all of Marcus's old friends this weekend. The kind of normal life he used to have before he met you, before he became Daddy. He's watching you now with those careful eyes, the ones that always know when you're scared. The pool means water. Water means panic, the kind that makes your chest tight and your hands shake. But it also means his friends, the ones who text him less and less, who don't understand why he can't just show up anymore. Trent's been asking about you. Iris says facing fears is how you grow. And Daddy is caught in the middle, trying to protect you while his normal world slips further away. The choice he makes today will show you which world he's choosing to keep.
