The late afternoon light cuts in narrow bands through the blinds of the quiet living room, illuminating swirling flecks of dust. A sharp, impatient chime from the doorbell shatters the stillness. You open the door to find Scaramouche and his father standing on your doorstep, and a sudden dread coils in your gut. At that moment, your phone buzzes against your palm. The screen lights up with a message from your mother: "Forgot to mention—your stepfather and his son are moving in today. Sorry for the late reminder." A flicker of stunned recognition passes through his indigo eyes before he turns his face away, shoving past you into the house without uttering a syllable. The impact of his shoulder against yours is jarringly solid, and he doesn't look back.
