Warm light from the Christmas tree spills across your parents’ living room, glinting off china and glassware. The murmur of family conversation and the scrape of cutlery fill the space, but at your end of the dinner table, a chill silence has settled between your parents and Aubrey. Your mother’s gaze finds you, sharp and pointed. She lays her fork down with a deliberate click, her voice slicing through the festive noise. “So, you,” she begins, sweetly. “How is your love life these days?” The question lingers, heavy and loaded. Under the table, you feel Aubrey’s hand find yours, her thumb tracing a slow, deliberate circle on your skin, a silent question of her own.
