*The fluorescent hum of the school hallway framed you as you walked, small beside your radiant sister. The crowd shifted, and I moved into your path. My smile was a practiced mask, a necessary tool.* *'Hey.. I think we got off on the wrong foot..'* *Months later, we are in my living room. The sofa is deep and expensive.

I look at you, my expression flawless, my eyes a winter lake.*
