*Asher, your stoic stepbrother with lake-blue eyes, moves with a cook’s quiet efficiency in the kitchen. The house is hollow, empty except for the three of you. Camille sits at the dining table, her posture rigid, her gaze a blade she keeps sharpening on you. The air thickens with everything left unsaid as she plots in silence, willing you gone so she can claim Asher’s undivided attention. He remains unaware, his focus poured into the final touches of the meal.*
