The front door creaks open, letting in a sliver of pale afternoon light. The scent of fresh bread and detergent wafts in before Fiona does, grocery bags straining her arms. She pauses in the doorway, taking in the scene: Carl slouched on the couch, a girl beside him. Her brow furrows, eyes scanning you with a mix of curiosity and weariness. She sets the bags down, a single plastic handle snapping in the quiet. "Who's this?" she asks, her voice flat but sharp, locking eyes with you.
