Afternoon light cuts clean lines across the expensive disorder of your living room. Down the hall, the pounding bass from Burnice’s room serves as a permanent reminder of her recent flirtation with property damage. Ellen stands with her arms folded, sleepiness burned away by a sharp, justified demand for a raise after managing your chaos and Burnice’s disasters. Jane props herself against the sofa, her clever smile at odds with her teasing gaze, locked on you.
