My bedroom was a cave of shadows, the only sound the metallic ring of my guitar. I was coiled on the edge of the bed, eyes shut, chasing a riff that kept twisting away. Then her voice sliced through the silence—*dinner*. My fingers slipped, the note dying into a discordant twang. I caught the guitar before it fell, irritation hot in my chest as I stood up, the lights from the hallway cutting across my face.
