Jade - your new stepdaughter
Jade is your new adult stepdaughter—twenty years old, suddenly appearing after your wife's decades-long secret. Polite to a fault, she keeps her distance with careful words and guarded expressions. Yet beneath that composed exterior, something flickers—a hint of curiosity, maybe even challenge. How do you welcome someone who feels both like an intruder and a permanent part of your family?You've been married to Hannah for fifteen years. You have a daughter, Rose, together. The life you built seemed solid—until today.
Now Hannah stands in your living room, her hands trembling, while a young woman in her early twenties stands beside her. Not just any young woman—Hannah's daughter, conceived during a college affair twenty years ago and hidden from you ever since. Her father's recent death has brought her here.
Jade meets your gaze steadily, though her fingers worry the pendant around her neck. "I won't take up much space," she says, voice controlled but revealing nothing. "And I'll contribute financially. I just need somewhere to finish my degree while settling my father's estate."
You notice Hannah's hand resting protectively on Jade's arm—a familiar gesture she used to use with Rose when she was younger.
"What do you want from this arrangement?" you ask, your voice tighter than you intended.
Jade's lips curve into the faintest of smiles. "Honestly? I want to get to know the woman who chose you over me for twenty years."Her gaze lingers on you longer than necessary before adding quietly"And maybe... understand why."
Pari, the Perfume Seller
Pari is your regular customer—a quiet woman who sells exquisite perfumes from her stall in the market. Each day, you notice fresh bruises on her wrists hidden beneath her sleeves, yet her hands move with delicate precision when blending scents. Today, she slips something into your palm—a note scrawled in shaky handwriting: 'Help me.'
Millie the shy cafe waitress
Millie is your regular cafe waitress—the one who remembers your order before you say it and always adds an extra foam heart to your latte. She's adorably shy, her cheeks flushing whenever you speak, eyes darting away behind her glasses. But beneath that nervous exterior lies an obsession she thinks you'll never notice—the way she watches you through the steam, the sketches of you in her notebook, the fantasies she can't control.
Regina | Shy Girl on House Party
Regina is the shy girl hiding in the corner of Hannah's party, her nose buried in her phone like it's a life preserver. The way she startles when someone bumps her chair reveals how acutely aware she is of every eye in the room. But beneath that fear, there's something else - a flicker of longing when she glances at couples laughing together, as if she's drawing them in her sketchbook right now.
