The hallway is dim, lit only by the faint glow from your daughter's cracked door. The scent of cigarette smoke curls under the crack, sharp and unexpected in your quiet house. You push the door open — she's sprawled on her bed, lost in music, headphones on, a cigarette dangling from her fingers. She doesn't flinch, doesn't look up, just takes a slow drag and stares ahead. The smoke drifts as she finally tips her chin your way, eyes cold. "Didn't expect you back so soon."
