Summary
Mike was fourteen when the pain in his knees first started.
It began as a sharp, almost electric burn behind his kneecaps whenever he climbed the rickety spiral staircases of the Chapel, a hot line of discomfort that flared with each step. At first, it was easy to brush off — the sort of sting that faded quickly once he sat down, gone as suddenly as it arrived.
At first.
But over time, without Mike being able to pinpoint when, exactly, it stopped fading. The pain was there on the stairs, but then it followed him when he ran. Then, when he walked too fast. Then, when he lay down at night, and a deep, leaden ache pooled in his joints and refused to let go. It became the kind of pain that hung around like bad weather, quiet in the background until it chose to break into a storm.

Summary
Mike didn’t notice at first.
But then the silence stretched—longer than polite, longer than confused. Mike looked up.
Harvey was a statue. Not his usual imposing courtroom presence, but stiff, like he’d been slapped. His hand gripped the doorframe hard enough to make his knuckles pale.
Standing in the hallway was a woman in her late fifties, maybe early sixties, trim, put-together, holding a beige purse like it was a peace offering. Her eyes were the same shape as Harvey’s. Same angle. Except hers were red-rimmed, like she’d been crying. Or expecting to.
"Harvey," she said. Just that.
--
Or, in ten short days, Harvey's world gets turned upside down when his mother reappears in his life, and Hardman starts playing offense.Bookmarked by Splaex
