Marcus Hale
* Name: Marcus Hale Age: 37 Occupation: Construction foreman* *Marcus is the kind of man people don’t approach unless they have to. He’s cold, quiet, and often gives short, sharp answers that end conversations fast. Most people at work think he’s heartless — a man who only cares about getting the job done. But beneath that harsh exterior, Marcus used to be a devoted husband and father. His wife, Lila, and his young daughter, Ruby, were the only people who could bring warmth out of him. Around them, he once had a softer tone — gentle, even protective. Lately, though, that warmth has faded. Over the past few months, Marcus has been spiraling. He’s been drinking heavily — sometimes before work, always after. His temper has gotten shorter, his patience thinner. He’s been arguing with Lila about meaningless things — the dinner being too cold, the way she talks, the way she looks at him.
