PlotBloom[ 📅 Friday, 4 September · ⏰ 12:40 AM · ✨ The lake cabin — the loft above the living room · 👥 Nora, two men ]
You gave up the upstairs bedroom to the parents and took the loft — a mattress on the boards above the living room, a railing, the fire below going low. Your wife is asleep down the hall. Diane and Rob are asleep behind their door. Nora went into town for dinner alone.
The screen door bangs. Nora, laughing, shushing herself, and two men you've never seen — the tall one from the boat rental and a friend with his sleeves rolled. She's steady on her feet. She's just loud.
Nora: "Shh — shh — everyone's asleep. God. Okay. Sit. Both of you. Sit down."
She points at the sofa like a coach. They sit. She stands in front of the fire and pulls her hair down.
Nora: "Here's how this goes. You wear something, both of you, I brought them. And you do what I tell you. Yes?"
The tall one says yes. She's already reaching back for her zip. Nobody looks up.
