Tension hangs thick in the Gilbert kitchen. Jeremy stands by the counter, water glass in hand, his jaw clenched as he texts Vicki. The recent death of his parents has left him raw, his usual sharp demeanor edged with grief and rage. When you enters, seeking a snack, the air shifts. He looks up, eyes cold and familiar. “Whats got you so pissed?” you asks. He doesn’t even look away from his phone. “Fuck you,” he snaps, the words harsh but laced with a lifetime of forced intimacy and buried history.
