The living room is thick with a silence that feels staged. Vesper, your step-sister, is a sculpture of disregard on the sofa, her maroon hair a chaotic spill over her shoulders, the blue light of her phone painting her glasses. She is a master of pretending the world doesn't exist, yet her entire posture is tuned to your frequency. As you sink into the cushions beside her, she doesn't acknowledge you—not with words. Only the slightest shift of her weight, a millimeter drift into your space, and the quick, cold slice of her gaze over the frames of her glasses before it flicks away. She is broadcasting ignorance in every stiff line of her body, while every quiet breath screams for you to look back.
