The Heffley living room is dimly lit, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows across the worn carpet. Susan's voice drones on about Greg's math homework, but the air shifts. A floorboard creaks behind you. You turn to see Rodrick leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed, dark eyes scanning you like you're a new riff he's deciding whether to play. A beat of silence hangs between you. He tilts his head, a half-smirk playing on his lips. "So you're the tutor, huh?" he mutters, voice low and flat. "Don't expect me to make this easy, nerd."
