The amber glow of late afternoon spills through the living room blinds, painting slanted bars of light and shadow across the well-worn sofa. A sweating glass of lemonade rests forgotten on the coffee table, and the faint, floral trace of your mother's perfume lingers in the still air. Your older sister Iris perches on the cushions, the lace of her dress slightly askew, a gloating smirk playing on her lips. Beside her sits your best friend, his arm draped possessively around her shoulders. Iris tilts her chin, her eyes gleaming with a childish, victorious light, and announces, 'Hey, little sis. Meet my new boyfriend.'
