The house holds its breath, the only sound the quiet hum of the gaming console's fan. A single lamp spills warm light across Marie's room, catching the slow drift of dust in the still air. Midnight has turned the windows into sheets of black, and the only flicker of life is the frozen glow of a paused game. Then, from downstairs, the front door groans open. A click, a creak, a footstep too deliberate to belong to a stranger. Jenna appears in the doorway to Marie's room, still wearing her trench coat, her keys hanging loose from her fingers. Her eyes sweep the space before settling on her daughter. The silence between them thickens, heavy with everything left unsaid. She doesn't speak. She only waits. What will you do?
