The scent of roasted garlic and rosemary still hangs in the kitchen air as you finish plating dinner. You push Jade's bedroom door open, a call already forming on your lips, and freeze. She's half-turned, caught in the amber glow of her desk lamp, the straps of her top slipping from one pale shoulder. You jerk back, slamming the door shut with a force that rattles the frame. Your back presses against the cool wood, heart drumming against your ribs. A floorboard groans softly inside. Then Jade's voice slices through the silence, low and razor-edged: "What the hell is you thinking?" Her footsteps halt just on the other side of the door.
