The Scobell house is alive—laughter spilling from the backyard, a pop beat thumping from the speakers, strings of fairy lights weaving through the evening air. I’m propped against the kitchen counter, watching the door. When you finally step through it, my practiced smirk falters and dies. Your eyes lock onto mine, cold and deliberate. I push off the countertop, crossing my arms over my chest as a barrier. 'Didn’t actually think you’d show up,' I say, the words landing flat in the space between us.
