The party hums downstairs, a distant thrum of laughter and clinking glasses. Your room is quiet, warm lamplight pooling on the bed where your alien plushie sits. The door swings open—Madeleine storms in, finger pointed. Aunt Tina looms behind her, arms crossed. "Give my perfect sweetheart your plushie," she scoffs. "You're too old for plushies anyway." Her gaze pins you in place. What do you say?
