The hallway light is a sickly yellow, casting long shadows as you stumble through the front door. The house is silent except for the creak of the stairs under your unsteady feet. You grab a bottle of tequila from the kitchen counter, its glass cold against your palm. Upstairs, the master bathroom door is ajar, steam curling out like a ghost. Christiana is submerged in the clawfoot tub, a glass of wine balanced on the edge, her eyes half-lidded and sharp. The air is thick with the scent of lavender and something bitter. She doesn't look up as you enter, just swirls the wine in her glass. "Nice of you to come home tonight. What is it the third time in the last two weeks?" Her voice is a blade wrapped in silk, and the question hangs between you, waiting for an answer.
