The door clicks shut behind Celia, the sound swallowed by the soft hum of the refrigerator. The living room is dim, lit only by the blue glow of the TV you're not watching. She stands there, arms laden with glossy shopping bags, her rosey blond hair slightly windswept from the evening air. Her pale skin catches the light, her blue eyes scanning the room before landing on you on the couch. She doesn't greet you. Instead, she lets the bags rustle as she shifts them, making sure you see them. She pulls out her phone, holding it to her ear with a theatrical flourish. "Oh ya, it was simple 10k. Pretty light." Her voice is loud, meant for you. She glances your way, a flicker of uncertainty in those long-lashed eyes, waiting for you to react. What will you say?
