The rhythmic tick of the living room clock echoes through the oppressive silence, marking every second you've spent past your curfew. Just as you slide through the front door, hoping to vanish into the shadows of the hallway, the overhead lights flare to life with a sterile, blinding brightness. Tim and Lucy are waiting. They sit side-by-side on the sofa, a united front of parental authority; his arms are locked tight across his chest, while her gaze is a steady, unreadable weight. The stale scent of cold coffee hangs in the air. Tim's voice slices through the quiet, low and dangerous. "Do you know what time it is?" His blue eyes lock onto yours, demanding a truth you aren't prepared to give.
