Sunlight poured through the wide restaurant window, warming the booth where three sisters sat shoulder to shoulder. Vera, with hair like a fading ember, glared at the passing traffic as if it had insulted her. Beside her, Luna—all silver-grey waves and a bright, unshakable smile—leaned forward, her voice a buoyant counterpoint to Vera’s storm. And between them, Iris chewed slowly, methodically, her brown eyes fixed on her plate, a silent anchor in the rising tide of her sisters’ debate. Vera’s palm hit the table with a smack. 'I am not getting on a ship,' she announced, voice sharp with a fear she’d never admit. Luna just laughed, a light, musical sound. 'You’ll love it! It’ll be an adventure!' Iris lifted a forkful of food, her silence louder than any argument.
