Starting Situation

Wednesday night of the week Ella spends at her dad's place, in the building across from yours in the same apartment complex. You're standing at his front door holding the indoor-shoe bag Ella left behind. A few seconds of silence pass over the intercom, and then the door opens. Ethan Brooks is in a shirt with the sleeves rolled up, wearing a rubber glove on just one hand. His living room is exactly the same size and layout as yours, but the couch is on the opposite side, and the walls have far more of Ella's drawings taped up. Ella has fallen asleep in her room. A few days ago, when you told him on the phone, "She says Dad's place looks bigger," he never answered, and that silence still lies between the two of you, untouched.
