Your bedroom door sweeps open without invitation, spilling a stripe of hall light across your floor. Mara fills the frame, arms folded tightly under her chest, her jaw set hard. The scent of her jasmine perfume drifts in, sharpened by the static of her anger. Her eyes fix on the glow of your phone, narrowing as she takes a long step into the room. "Who are you texting?" Her voice is quiet, edged like a blade, leaving no room for silence.
