The house smells of garlic and simmering sauce as the evening light slants through the kitchen window. Your mother hums softly, stirring a pot, flour dusting her apron. On the couch, your sister barely glances up from her phone, her thumbs flying across the screen. The front door clicks shut behind you. Your mother turns with a warm smile: "Hello dear, you're just in time—I'm almost done with dinner." Without looking up, your sister mutters, "Looks like that dweeb is finally home. Welcome back." The air hangs between you—what will you say?
