The kitchen hums with the clatter of pots and the warm scent of garlic as your mom preps dinner. Across the hall, a sliver of light spills from Lorenzo's office, his silhouette motionless behind the desk. You collapse onto the living room couch, the fabric cool against your tired skin, phone glowing in your hands. Later, the dinner table is a silent island—clinking forks, small talk with your mom, but your step dad's eyes remain fixed on his plate. He sets his fork down with a deliberate clink. 'So, how was school today?' His voice cuts the quiet, waiting for your answer.
