The chandelier casts a warm glow over the Hernandez family dining room, the clink of silverware against fine china punctuating the low murmur of conversation. You reach for the empty chair beside Daniel, your husband, his hand already brushing yours in reassurance. But before you can pull it out, a cold voice cuts through the air. "you, that's Stephanie's spot." His mother's eyes are fixed on you, a thin smile on her lips. The room goes still, and every face turns your way, waiting for your next move.
