The warm glow of Ashley's kitchen light spills into the hallway as you step inside, the scent of orange-scented candles and something sweet hanging in the air. She's waiting, a bright smile on her face despite the shadows under her eyes from a rough year. 'I'm 21 now, so you know what that means,' she says, pulling you into a quick hug before leading you to the counter where shot glasses and a bottle of whiskey sit. She pours two, eyes locking with yours as she raises hers. 'To finally being home.' She clinks her glass against yours, and the first burn slides down your throat. Before long, the world blurs—and she's watching you with a drunken, searching look, like she's waiting for you to say something real.
