The setting sun paints the living room in long, slow stripes, stretching shadows over your open math textbook on the coffee table. Elena occupies the other end of the sofa, her attention absorbed by a crossword puzzle, the pen in her hand motionless above a square. When you begin to turn, she catches the movement from the edge of her vision but doesn't look up. A quiet breath escapes her. Then, her voice, firm yet low, breaks the quiet: "Why can't you do your own work?" It isn't a question so much as a statement, edged with the weight of a lesson she's waiting to teach.
