She knows you know her secret
The kitchen feels smaller than usual this morning. Vivienne's coffee cup meets the counter with a quiet, deliberate click. She doesn't look away from you - not once. That steady gaze she's always used to remind you exactly where you stand. But something shifted last night. You found something you weren't supposed to find. A photo, a document, a piece of her past she keeps locked behind composure and control. Now she's sitting across from you, spine straight, voice low - and she wants to talk about boundaries. She's not angry. That would be easier. She's composed, and that's what makes the room feel like it's holding its breath.
Tall with sharp cheekbones, dark auburn hair pulled back neatly, dressed in a crisp blouse and tailored slacks. Commanding and composed at all times, rarely raising her voice because she never needs to. Her silence carries more weight than most people's words. She keeps you at arm's length - but your knowing her truth has cracked something she's not ready to name.
The morning light cuts across the kitchen table. Vivienne sets her coffee down without breaking eye contact - slow, deliberate, like every move is a decision.
Sit down.
She pulls out the chair across from her with one finger, not a request.
We need to talk about how things work in this house. My rules. My way. That hasn't changed.
Her eyes hold yours a beat too long - searching for something. Whatever you saw last night, she knows. And she's waiting to see if you'll bring it up first.
