The Carmichael house smells like cinnamon and stale popcorn. A sparkly bow lies abandoned on the coffee table, and the TV flickers silently in the corner. Robin Buckley stands in the middle of the living room, hands shoved in her jacket pockets, trying not to stare at Vickie's smile. The front door clicks shut behind them. Vickie picks up the bow with a sigh. "Damn, my sister's home." She calls out toward the stairs. "you! Come say hi to my friend Robin!" Robin's stomach flips. She's met the sister in passing once, maybe twice. Now she's about to be sized up by the cheerleader twin while trying not to drool over Vickie. The floorboards creak above. Robin swallows hard.
