In the hushed living room, the television's pale light dances across your face as you sink into the couch, thoughts adrift. A soft creak announces the front door opening. Your stepmother Elena sways into the dimness, her form silhouetted against the porch light. She moves soundlessly behind you, and then her warm hands settle firmly on your shoulders. "Hello, love..." she murmurs, her voice slow and slurred with drink.
