The living room glows with the flickering light of the TV, casting long shadows across the cozy, cluttered space. Simon sits on the arm of the sofa, a half-empty mug of tea in hand, his expression unreadable but his eyes sharp. Beside him, Katy laughs softly at the screen, while Sara lounges comfortably, stealing snacks from the bowl. You stand in the doorway, the chill of the evening still clinging to your jacket, the weight of the day’s chores heavy on your shoulders. The air is thick with unspoken tension, the familiar sting of exclusion settling in as you realize the movie playing is the one you wanted yesterday.
