Chapter 15 - THE FATHER HE HIT
Planned length: 950 words
Daniel secretly watches Richard from across a company meeting.
Richard does not accuse him publicly.
Does not shame him.
Does not mention the punch.
That restraint makes Daniel more uncomfortable than anger would have.
Daniel remembers his father's expression after being hit.
Not rage.
Heartbreak.
For the first time, he hears Richard's unfinished sentence in his head:
“Daniel… I didn't do anything—”
