Marcus took a deep breath, trying to steady himself amidst the whirlwind of emotions spiraling within him. He realized that this confrontation was about much more than just his damaged car—it was a reflection of societal dynamics and unspoken biases that he had encountered too many times throughout his life.
“Karen, let me be clear,” Marcus began, his voice firm but calm. “This isn’t just a community issue; it’s about responsibility and accountability. Your son made a choice, and there are consequences for actions like that.”
Karen’s expression shifted slightly, a flicker of frustration crossing her face. “Marcus, I understand you’re upset, but think about Tyler’s future. A police report would ruin his chances of getting into a good college. Can’t we handle this among ourselves without involving authorities?”
