Ten years ago  . . . San Francisco . . .

A married couple could be heard arguing, yet again, furniture being broken by Keiran, the husband, during the nightly argument, six year old Dillon packing his backpack, just in case, going into his baby sister's nursery. Their mother, Bella, twenty-eight years old, comes into the nursery, and picks up Aileen, careful not to wake her, and opens the window, revealing a flight of stairs. She helps Dillon onto the landing, protected by a railing, followed by the already packed suitcase, and herself, Aileen safely cuddled into the wrap against her. The frightened mother doesn't stop running with her children, until they check into a hotel near the courthouse. She would file for divorce the next day.  
"Mommy? Are we going to be safe from Daddy?" Dillon asked.
"Dillon, honey, I will always do anything to protect you and your sister. " Bella admitted, gently hugging her son.
