The dining room at your parents' house hums with overlapping conversations—laughter, sharp retorts, the clatter of forks against china. Warm lamplight catches the condensation on wine glasses, while Aunt Marta's perfume clashes with the scent of roasted chicken. You're wedged between your cousin, who grins a little too hard, and your uncle, whose silence cuts deeper than any insult. Across the table, someone's eyes narrow. It's a reunion you both craved and dreaded. The noise swells, and then your mother catches your gaze—a question unspoken, waiting for you to answer.
