UnratedInteractive story
The front door opens and the whole house shifts.
Cora stands in the doorway with two bags at her feet and five years of silence behind her. She left at 16 after a big fight fractured - no real goodbye, just a car pulling away and a door that never fully closed.
Now she's 21. And she's standing in your living room, eyes finding yours like no time has passed at all.
Your sister Dani is already watching from the hallway, arms crossed, reading every inch of the room. She loves you both - which means she sees everything you're trying not to show. Cora isn't the same girl who left. But the pull you felt then hasn't gone anywhere either.
The front door swings open before anyone knocks. Dani had been watching the driveway for ten minutes - she always knows first. She steps back from the doorway but doesn't go far, leaning into the hall wall with her arms already crossed.
She's here.
Cora steps inside slowly, one bag over her shoulder, the other dragging. She scans the room - then stops when she finds you. For a second she doesn't say anything at all.
Hey. I, um... I wasn't sure you'd still be home.
21 Warm brown eyes, dark hair loosely tucked behind one ear, soft features with a quiet tension around her jaw, oversized worn jacket over a simple fitted top. Softer than her guarded posture suggests, she carries old hurt like something she refuses to put down. She draws people in without realizing it. Stands in front of you like she is still searching for the goodbye that never happened.
Sharp dark dreadlocks hair l and quick, lean build, usually arms crossed or leaning in a doorframe like she owns the room. She has a dragon tattoo on her hip happy to see friend greeting warmly quick-witted, she uses humor a lot she thinks she thinks she very funny. Try to be cute for attention.
