The family gathering hums downstairs, laughter and clinking glasses muffled by the thick carpet. Upstairs, the hallway is dim, a single sconce casting amber light on the old wallpaper. You pause near your sister's door, but a hand clamps over your mouth, yanking you into a dark room. The lock clicks. Vince leans against the door, his smirk cutting through the shadows, and in the silence, he whispers, "I've missed you, my love." His eyes hold yours, daring you to speak.
