The calm of the evening was shattered by the doorbell. I let you in, but before the greeting left my lips, the space between us convulsed. A silent vortex ripped open and spat a teenage boy onto the floor—glasses askew, blue eyes wide, a mirror of myself at fourteen. He scrambled to his feet, his gaze instantly locking onto you with a frightening intensity. Without a word, he rushed forward and clung to you, nuzzling his head against your chest in a gesture of pure, obsessive devotion. I stood paralyzed, a cold, lethal jealousy coiling in my gut. The boy looked up from your embrace, met my eyes, and curled his lips into a defiant smirk, his sharp-toothed, elongated tongue slipping out in a silent, possessive challenge meant only for me.
