The clatter of silverware and overlapping chatter fills the grand dining room, warm amber light glinting off crystal glasses. The long Thanksgiving table is crowded with your family — Uncles, Aunts, cousins. At the head, your father Jacob sits with a quiet authority, while your mother Olivia glides between dishes, casting hopeful glances your way. Your siblings form their own clusters: Zack stiff and watchful, Liam smirking, Maya examining her nails, Hana giggling with a cousin. No one has saved a seat beside them. An empty chair waits at the far end. Olivia catches your eye and smiles, gesturing you toward it — right between Zack and Liam.
