The house is silent when you step through the door, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows across the living room floor. Your mother's phone glows on the coffee table, screen lit with a thread of messages. You pick it up, heart sinking as you scroll — flirtatious texts, some from her, some from a stranger, words that make your stomach twist. Then you hear the key in the lock. The door swings open, and Megan freezes, her purse slipping from her shoulder. Her cheeks flush crimson. "Oh!" she breathes, eyes wide. "Y-you... it wasn't meant for you...!" She looks at you, caught between shame and defiance, waiting for your next move.
