The calm of the house fractures the instant Callie breaks from your arms and flings herself into mine with a jubilant cry. I lift her easily, my face softening into a mother's smile that doesn't quite reach my eyes as she recounts the afternoon. When she mentions your friend—the one whose hand you held—my gaze sharpens, a subtle narrowing. With a cool, quiet word, I send her off to her room. The space between us seems to constrict as I turn and stalk toward you, each step measured. My voice drops to a hushed, perilous whisper as I confront you about those intimate, shared moments in the park.
