PART 2<\/h2>\n

The next morning, my phone rang at 6:12 a.m.<\/p>\n

Unknown number.<\/p>\n

I almost ignored it.<\/p>\n

Almost.<\/p>\n

\u2014Hello?<\/p>\n

For a few seconds, all I heard was breathing.<\/p>\n

Then a tiny voice whispered:<\/p>\n

\u2014Grandpa\u2026?<\/p>\n

My heart stopped.<\/p>\n

Emma.<\/p>\n

I sat up immediately.<\/p>\n

\u2014Emma? Honey, where are you?<\/p>\n

She sniffled softly.<\/p>\n

\u2014I\u2019m not supposed to call you.<\/p>\n

Something in her voice made the hairs on my neck rise.<\/p>\n

\u2014Why are you crying?<\/p>\n

Silence.<\/p>\n

Then:<\/p>\n

\u2014Daddy broke the mirror.<\/p>\n

I closed my eyes.<\/p>\n

God.<\/p>\n

Not again.<\/p>\n

\u2014Is your dad there right now?<\/p>\n

\u2014He\u2019s sleeping on the floor.<\/p>\n

Another pause.<\/p>\n

\u2014Mom left last night.<\/p>\n

I looked at the clock again.<\/p>\n

Too early.<\/p>\n

Too quiet.<\/p>\n

Too wrong.<\/p>\n

\u2014Emma\u2026 are you alone?<\/p>\n

Her breathing became shaky.<\/p>\n

\u2014I\u2019m hiding in my closet.<\/p>\n

I was already grabbing my keys.<\/p>\n

\u2014Listen to me carefully. Stay on the phone with Grandpa, okay?<\/p>\n

She whispered:<\/p>\n

\u2014I don\u2019t like when Daddy gets angry now.<\/p>\n

That sentence hit harder than all thirty blows.<\/p>\n

Because violence doesn\u2019t end when the bruises fade.<\/p>\n

It moves into the walls.<\/p>\n

Into the children.<\/p>\n

Into the silence.<\/p>\n

I drove through Dallas faster than I had in years.<\/p>\n

The entire way, I kept hearing her tiny voice from the video:<\/p>\n

\u201cGrandpa didn\u2019t even hit back\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

When I arrived at Daniel\u2019s apartment, the hallway smelled like spilled beer and cigarette smoke.<\/p>\n

I knocked once.<\/p>\n

No answer.<\/p>\n

Twice.<\/p>\n

Still nothing.<\/p>\n

Then I heard Emma crying again through the phone.<\/p>\n

That was enough.<\/p>\n

I forced the door open.<\/p>\n

And froze.<\/p>\n

The apartment looked like a storm had torn through it.<\/p>\n

Broken glass.<\/p>\n

Overturned chairs.<\/p>\n

Liquor bottles everywhere.<\/p>\n

Daniel was unconscious beside the couch, one hand bloody from punching the mirror.<\/p>\n

But Emma\u2014<\/p>\n

Emma was curled behind the kitchen counter clutching that same stuffed rabbit from the party.<\/p>\n

The second she saw me, she ran into my arms so hard I nearly lost balance.<\/p>\n

And then she said the one thing that completely shattered me.<\/p>\n

Not:<\/p>\n

\u201cI missed you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not:<\/p>\n

\u201cI was scared.\u201d<\/p>\n

No.<\/p>\n

She wrapped her tiny arms around my neck and whispered:<\/p>\n

\u2014Grandpa\u2026 can you take me home?<\/p>\n

Home.<\/p>\n

Not \u201cDad\u2019s house.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not \u201cour apartment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Home.<\/p>\n

As if my arms were the only safe place left in her world.<\/p>\n

I held her so tightly my chest hurt.<\/p>\n

Behind us, Daniel slowly opened his eyes.<\/p>\n

He saw Emma clinging to me.<\/p>\n

Saw the fear on her face.<\/p>\n

Saw the destruction around him.<\/p>\n

And for the first time in his life\u2026<\/p>\n

My son truly understood what he had become.<\/p>\n

His lip trembled.<\/p>\n

\u2014Emma\u2026<\/p>\n

She buried her face deeper into my shoulder.<\/p>\n

And that\u2014<\/p>\n

that hurt him more than losing the mansion ever did.<\/p>\n
