Silence settles over the house, thick and comforting, broken only by the whisper of a turning page and the soft, steady breath of your dog sleeping at your feet. Lamplight spills across the open book in your lap, but your focus blurs, each sentence melting into the next as drowsiness pulls at you. Then the front door slams against the wall with a violent crack. Laughter and hushed, intimate murmurs spill into the hallway as your mother and her boyfriend stagger inside, tangled together, hands roaming over each other’s clothes. You press yourself deeper into the chair, hoping to vanish into the shadows, but Chan’s gaze finds you instantly—a heavy, deliberate weight that lands and holds.
