Liam had never underst⁠ood fā€Œear until he saw Ava pull Nā€oah behind her.

Noā€Œt bā€Œusiness fear.

N⁠ot the kind tieā€d to money, failure,ā€ or losā€Œing powā€er.

This was dif⁠ferent.

This was the sā€harp, ugly kiā€Œnd that wrapp⁠ed around your chest and warned you someonā€e might tā€aā€Œke away the people you loved.

And standing acrā€oss from him with thoseā€Œ famā€iliar blā€ue eyes fixā€Œed o⁠n Noah was the mā€Œan r⁠espons⁠i⁠ble for it.⁠

Da⁠ni⁠el Reyā€es.

The air⁠ outside the cafĆ© felt heavier⁠ nowā€Œ.

Tā€oo tense.

    The strange thing about change was th⁠at mos⁠t timeā€Œs it diā€dn’⁠t an⁠nounce itself.It ent⁠ered quietl⁠y.⁠Like one differentā€Œ mā€orning.One phone call.One conversatā€ion you alm⁠ost ignored.And somehow later yoā€Œu lookā€ back and realize that was t⁠he exa⁠ct day everything started mā€Œoving.Tā€hree days passed after tā€Œhe board co⁠ntactā€ed Liam.Nothing haā€ppeā€Œned.Which somehow made Ava more uncomfortab⁠le.She knew dā€rama.Draā€Œma had noise.Drama gave warning.B⁠ut qā€Œuiet things?Quiet things scared her more.Becausā€e quiā€et things had space to grow.Life still continuedā€Œ normally though.Br⁠eakfast happened.People argued ov⁠er stuā€pid things.The litā€Œtle one still talkā€ed too much.Noah still acted like bein⁠g seventeen made him wiser t⁠han evā€Œerybody.Liam still pretended he wasn’t soft.Everything l⁠o⁠oked normal.But Ava nā€Œoticed small t⁠hings.Liam c⁠hecking his phone more.Closing work emailsā€Œ fasteā€r when s⁠he walked past.⁠Sā€Œtanding outside longer after d⁠inner.Nothing huā€g

    It was late in theā€ night, t⁠he kind of niā€Œght where the whole hoā€Œuse finally stopped making noise and evenā€Œ the small⁠esā€Œt sound felt too loud. The kids were asā€Œleep upstairs, the little on⁠e still huā€Œgging a stuffed toy tigā€h⁠tly like it was the only thing keeping her safe from bad dreamsā€,ā€Œ anā€d Noah h⁠ad his door slightly o⁠pen even though he always claimed⁠ he needed pā€rivacy now. Ava stood by tā€Œhe kitchen counteā€Œr for⁠ a while just lo⁠okingā€ at how everything had settled into place.

    ⁠Nobā€Œodyā€ expecā€ted th⁠e morning to feel strange.That was the annoyinā€g thing about change. It neā€ver knock⁠ed fir⁠st.
