Sunday evenings had always followed the same gentle rhythm. Mason Holloway would pull into the driveway, step out of his car, and wait for his six-year-old son, Owen, to come running toward him. It was their routine after every custody exchange—simple, familiar, comforting. But this Sunday felt different the moment Owen stepped outside. There was no running. No smile. No hug.
