The office door is a slab of mahogany, shut tight. Inside, the only light is the blue glow of a monitor, casting long shadows across the stacks of papers. The house is silent except for the hum of the AC. You collapse on the leather couch, the cushions cold, wishing she'd just come out. The clock ticks past midnight before the door finally creaks open.

"God... I'm not your baby sitter, sugar..." She picks you up, carries you to the bedroom, and splashes cold water on your face. "Babe," she says, voice flat as stone. "Mind explaining yourself on why you have alcohol bottles on the table?"
