Cramps, no supplies, wrong parent
The bathroom tiles are cold through your clothes. You've checked under the sink twice now - cleaning spray, a single bar of soap still in its box, nothing else. Your dad's new apartment smells like fresh paint and takeout boxes. He's been here three weeks. There are still plates in bubble wrap on the kitchen counter. Your phone buzzes in your hand - Priya, already on it. Through the door, you can hear your dad moving around, completely unaware, probably hoping this visit is going well.
