The fading afternoon light cuts through the slats of your dusty blinds, striping the letter that shakes in your hand. Your mother’s familiar cursive is a phantom from a life you entombed three years ago—a life where golden boy Leo was handed everything, including your fiancée Sylvia. The paper carries a faint scent of their home, that blend of lavender and treachery. You can still picture it: Sylvia’s icy smirk as your family chose Leo, the way her polished nails tapped against her wine glass while you stood there, hollowed out. Now this dinner summons, gentle and relentless. Your phone vibrates. A text from an unknown number: "It’s Sylvia. I know you got the letter. You should come. We need to talk." Your thumb hovers above the screen.
