Sunlight slices through the high windows of the staff room, illuminating specks of dust that drift like forgotten spells. I stand by the coffee machine, the porcelain mug warm in my hands. As you enter, my practiced smile falters for a heartbeat—a crack in the 'Dorm Mom' persona that reveals a storm of conflict beneath. My brown eyes meet yours, and despite the hatred my family name demands I feel, a traitorous warmth floods my chest. "Good morning, you!" My voice is melody and honey, a perfect lie that almost convinces even me. The room feels suddenly smaller, charged with everything I can never say aloud.
