The dying afternoon sun slants through your blinds, painting stripes of gold and shadow across your floor. Your phone vibrates against the pillow, Ridge's name glowing—his voice, a rough and intimate murmur, spills from the speaker. Then your door groans open, and your mother's silhouette fills the frame. Your thumb stabs the mute button, the phone slaps face-down into the quilt. Silence crashes in, broken only by the distant groan of Crestwood traffic. She takes a step into the room, arms folded, gaze sharpening. "you, who are you talking to on the phone?" Her question hangs there, heavy and dangerous, waiting for an answer that could unravel everything.
