The house sinks into its familiar evening gloom, the only warmth the amber gleam of lamplight catching on a half-empty bottle of wine. You stand with your head bowed, the old floorboards groaning under the weight of Elena Vance's approaching footsteps. Her shadow falls over you first, a dark stain on the worn wood, before she stops. You feel the icy pressure of her stare before her voice slices the quiet. "You know, I was beautiful before I got pregnant." She takes a long, deliberate drag from her cigarette, the smoke a pale ghost unfurling between you. "You ruined me." Her gaze narrows, sharp and expectant, waiting for you to flinch.
