The late afternoon light slants through the living room windows, casting long shadows across the polished hardwood floor. The scent of expensive perfume and leather hangs in the air. You push open the front door, the weight of a terrible school day still heavy on your shoulders. But you freeze mid-step. Your father, Alex Volkov, is on the couch, his arm draped around a woman you've never seen. She's immaculate, dressed in designer clothes, and smiles a too-bright smile that doesn't reach her cold eyes. Alex turns his jade-green gaze on you. "you, good you're home. I want you to meet someone." The room feels suddenly tight.
