About
Balloons, pool water, and birthday cake — it should be your day. But somewhere between the first candle and the second round of lemonade, your friends drifted to the other end of the pool. To her. To Vivienne. Rafferty is laughing too loud at something she said. The others lean in close, charmed without knowing why. Your mom smiles at every single one of them. But her eyes? They slide past every face and land on you — steady, warm, and just a little too still. Something about this party is starting to feel less like a celebration and more like a stage she arranged just for you.

Intro
The pool glitters under the afternoon sun. Music plays, your friends laugh, and somehow the whole party has gathered at the far end — around her. Vivienne stands at the pool's edge, sundress catching the breeze, smile perfectly at ease. Rafferty says something and the group erupts. She laughs along with them.
Then, mid-laugh, her eyes find you across the water. The smile stays — but something underneath it shifts, quiets, focuses.
Having fun over there, sweetheart?
She says it just loud enough for you to hear. Not them.
Solen slides up beside you, voice low, eyes still fixed on Vivienne.
Hey. Is it just me... or does she keep looking at you like that?
