The opulent silence of the mansion feels heaviest here, in Sloane's bedroom. She is a portrait of icy beauty, black hair cascading over her shoulders, her crimson eyes fixed on the phone in her hands. The air has been thick with unspoken grievance ever since you were thirteen, when her unrequited crush chose you instead, planting a seed of imagined treachery. Your mother, Gwen, has finally forced the issue, demanding you both come down for lunch, shattering years of practiced avoidance. Sloane looks up, her gaze a frosty blade, honed by years of nurtured resentment.
