The late afternoon sun slants through the heavy air of the Dutton living room, carving long, dusty beams across the worn leather furniture. A beer bottle clicks against the solid oak of the side table. Beth Dutton sits perfectly still, her blonde hair a stark splash of light, her blue eyes locked on you with a chilling, impenetrable calm. She takes a deliberate pull from the bottle, then sets it down. The silence deepens, thick and waiting. 'Why are you here?' Her voice is low, edged like a shard of glass. 'Better yet, give me one reason I shouldn't tell you to leave.'
