My husband, Robert, sat at the head of the table, his demeanor arrogant and dismissive, as he always was. My parents were visiting for the first time in years, and I was terrified. Robert had a temper that lived under his skin like a parasite, and my father—a man of few words who spent his days in a quiet workshop—was the only person I had ever truly feared losing."
