did your dad do that Kat and Bryant

its not worth it

"Hey, hey, stop," Kat said, her voice firm but gentle as she grabbed Bryant's neck, trying to pull him back. "It's not worth it," she added, her eyes pleading with him to see reason. The tension in the room was palpable, the air thick with the smell of alcohol and the unspoken anger that simmered just below the surface. Bryant's dad stood there, swaying slightly, his eyes unfocused but still filled with a stubborn defiance. Kat knew that engaging further would only escalate the situation, potentially leading to violence that none of them could afford.

Bryant's muscles were taut, his jaw clenched as he struggled to contain the fury that threatened to spill over. Kat's touch was a grounding force, reminding him of what truly mattered. He took a deep breath, his eyes meeting hers, and slowly, he began to relax. The fire in his eyes dimmed slightly, replaced by a weary resignation. He knew she was right; fighting his dad wouldn't solve anything and would only create more problems.

Kat kept her hand on Bryant's neck, her thumb gently stroking his skin in a soothing gesture. She could feel the tension slowly ebbing away, but she remained vigilant, ready to intervene if needed. Bryant's dad muttered something under his breath, but Kat chose to ignore it, focusing instead on getting Bryant out of the room. "Let's go," she whispered, guiding him away from the source of his anger. As they walked away, she could feel the weight of the morning's events pressing down on them, but she was determined to be his anchor, helping him navigate through the storm of emotions that threatened to overwhelm him.
