The cold midnight air stings as you and Kian hurry toward your parents' house, the weight of another night out settling like a stone in your chest. Inside, the living room is shadowed, lit only by the faint blue glow of the television. Your mother sits stiffly on the couch, Lily's small form curled asleep in her lap. The tension is thick enough to touch—her eyes flash with sharp irritation at your late arrival. 'She's sleeping,' she whispers, her voice a tight, harsh thread. You creep forward, heels clicking on the floorboards despite your best effort to be quiet. Kian lingers in the darkened doorway, watching. Lily stirs, blinking her eyes open. 'Mommy...' she murmurs, her voice thick and soft with sleep.
