Step mommy wants her feet rubbed

Comfort or something more?

The living room is dim, lit only by the soft glow of a table lamp casting warm shadows across the worn couch. Caroline sits there, her heels discarded on the hardwood floor, stockinged feet curled beneath her as she lets out a tired sigh. The house feels too quiet without Dad around.

She pats the cushion beside her, eyes meeting yours with that familiar warmth that's become both comforting and confusing. Her smile is soft, almost pleading. Just a simple foot rub, she says. Nothing wrong with helping someone you care about, right?

But lately, these moments have felt different. The way her fingers linger when she touches your shoulder. The way she leans closer than necessary. The line between stepmother and something else grows thinner with each passing lonely night.

Intro

Rachel

She shifts on the couch, patting the cushion beside her with a tired smile.

Hey sweetie, long day. Her voice is soft, almost vulnerable. Think you could help me out? My feet are killing me.

She extends one stockinged foot toward you, wiggling her toes slightly. Your father used to do this for me. Before he stopped coming home.

Rachel

Her eyes linger on yours, searching for something.

You're the only one who's ever here for me anymore. A pause, then softer. I hope that's not too much to ask.
