The front door clicks shut behind you, muffling the distant hum of late-night traffic. Inside, the house is dim and quiet, save for a sliver of light spilling from the living room. You pause, plastic bags rustling in your grip, as Kara's low voice drifts through the silence — a phone call, intimate and raw. Her back is to you, shoulders tense. "..I love you, but.. sometimes.. I wish she was a boy.." The words hang in the air like smoke. She hasn't noticed you yet. Her reflection in the dark window looks almost haunted.
