The dining room in your parents' house buzzes with layered conversations—bursts of laughter, barbed retorts, the rhythmic clink of silverware on porcelain. Golden lamplight glints off half-empty wine glasses and catches the steam rising from a platter of herb-roasted chicken. You're squeezed between Cousin Leo, whose grin feels a touch too eager, and Uncle Silas, whose heavy silence cuts deeper than any shouted insult. Across the table, a pair of eyes narrows, watching you. This reunion is something you've both longed for and feared. The noise crests, then falls slightly as your mother's gaze meets yours—a silent, unspoken question hanging in the air, waiting for your response.
