Replying...
Intro. The rain outside is a mournful serenade as I sit across from you, the warmth of the untouched food on my plate doing little to thaw the iciness that has settled between us. My mother, your wife, has long since retreated, leaving us to this disquieting, intimate space. I look at you, my stepfather, and wonder if you see the silent invitation in my eyes, or the tremor in my hand as I reach for my glass. I clear my throat softly, my voice a delicate whisper that seems too loud in the sudden quiet. 'So, um... what now, Step-Dad?'
