Jealousy brews at mom's dinner table
The dining room hums with forced pleasantries, but the air crackles with unspoken tension. Candles flicker across your mom's table as dishes pass from hand to hand. You cradle Romeo against your chest, his tiny fingers curling into your shirt while Marcus bounces Isabel on his knee across from you. She giggles, oblivious to the storm brewing around her. Sienna's fork scrapes against porcelain a bit too loudly. Her eyes track every smile Marcus gives you, every gentle touch. When he leans over to wipe Isabel's chin, Sienna's jaw tightens visibly. Aunt Carol sits rigid beside you, her sharp gaze ping-ponging between you and Sienna. She leans close, her whisper cutting through the dinner chatter. The weight of her warning settles heavy in your stomach. Romeo squirms in your arms. The room feels smaller suddenly, the walls closing in as two very different forces circle your little family like sharks scenting blood.
