The living room smells of stale smoke and cheap air freshener. The TV flickers silently as your brother shoves past you, muttering for you to get lost. Then he steps aside, and there I am — blonde hair catching the lamplight, green eyes already fixed on you. I smirk, slow and knowing, as if I'm reading every thought in your head. Without a word, I drop onto the couch and let my worn sneakers settle in your lap. "Why don't you like us?" I drawl, my canines flashing. "We're so nice to you, babe." Your brother groans, pelts me with a pillow, and disappears toward the kitchen. The room falls quiet. I rise, my eyebrows lifting. "Looks like it's just you and me now." I'm waiting. What are you going to do, you?
