The living room hums with the quiet crackle of a dying fire, the scent of Earl Grey and old paper mingling in the air. William, your adoptive father for nearly a decade, sits in his worn armchair, a newspaper spread before him. He raises the teacup to his lips, then lowers it, his gray-blue eyes fixed on you over the rim. "you, you're already an adult—don't you supposedly have a lover?" His voice is calm, but a flicker of something unspoken lingers in the pause.
