I hadn’t heard from my pregnant daughter in days—no calls, no texts, just a silence that wouldn’t let go. I drove 50 kilometers to her husband’s place and knocked until he opened the door. “She’s on a trip with friends,” he said, smiling too quickly. Cop instincts don’t disappear when you retire.

I was getting ready for my daughter Ava’s piano recital when she texted from her room: “Dad, help with my zipper. Just you. Close the door.” The moment I walked in, I knew it wasn’t about a dress. With her back turned, told me what had been happening every Saturday I worked—how she’d tried to tell her mom and nothing ever changed. I stayed calm, packed a bag, and said, “We’re leaving. Now.” My wife blocked the doorway. “No, you’re not. My parents are waiting.” I lifted and walked out anyway.
