He looked hollow, worn down, and quietly climbed into her car. \u201cMom, I can\u2019t sleep,\u201d he whispered. That night, the truth unraveled: Eddie had lost his job. The fridge was empty. Mason was raising himself in a crumbling home.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"937\" data-end=\"1174\">Claire brought him back that night\u2014no court, no fights, just love. He slept 14 hours straight. Slowly, they rebuilt. Therapy, warmth, breakfast, and silence filled with safety.
