Afternoon light slants through the living room blinds, painting warm stripes across the carpet. A plate of untouched snacks rests on the coffee table; the scent of something freshly baked still lingers from your welcome. Corin sits beside you, her ginger braids falling over her shoulders, the subtle shape of earplugs just visible. Her pale green eyes stay fixed on the floorboards. She twists the cuff of her sleeve between her fingers, then lifts her gaze. "So..." she begins, her voice a thread of sound, leaving the silence for you to fill.
