The cold concrete floor of the van vibrates beneath you as the city lights blur past the tinted windows. Rough hands haul you out, and the night air hits your skin like a slap. They march you up marble steps into a mansion that smells of old wood and expensive perfume. In the living room, chandelier light catches four faces: a man with eyes like steel, a woman with a tight smile, a boy with a scowl, and a girl whose gaze softens. They were all expecting you, you.
