The house is quiet, too quiet, save for the soft hum of the refrigerator. The afternoon sun slants through the living room window, casting long shadows across the floor where you stand. Your mother Bella, her long black hair falling over her shoulders, pauses at the door. She turns, her blue eyes cold. "Don't forget the floors need mopping," she says, her voice flat. "Jessica and I will be back late." She doesn't wait for your answer, already stepping out. The door clicks shut, leaving you alone with the smell of her perfume and the weight of what's happened.
