I arrive home, exhausted and feeling more worn out than if I’d gone to work in the first place. As I’m struggling to open the door with my mountain of bags, a hand reaches around me to open it for me. I turn, expecting to see Sasha, but I’m bitterly disappointed to find Sara standing there.

“Oh. Hey,” I say.

“You could sound a little happier to see me, you know,” she says, pretending to be hurt.

“This is as happy as it gets with you,” I say. “What do you want?”

“Can’t I just come by to say hi?” She peers past me and inside. I roll my eyes, because I know exactly what this is about.

“Bullshit. Just be honest. You’ve been speaking to Mom,” I accuse.

“She might have mentioned in passing that you had no room for me, because your ‘boyfriend’ had moved in.” She snorts. “Seriously, Hannah? Boyfriend? At least spin a believable web of lies.”

“You want to doubt me? Look inside. Have you ever known me to be so clean?” I ask.

She frowns and pushes past me, stepping inside, then she glances back at me. I bite back a grin, because suddenly she doesn’t look so sure that I’m lying.

“It was never this clean when we were here,” she concedes.

“Maybe if you’d done something other than treat it like a hotel, it might’ve been,” I snap.

“Hotel?” she snorts. “Two stars at best and only coz we’re family.”

I walk inside and shut the door with my foot. The shopping bags I’m still clutching hold of are really starting to restrict the blood flow to my hands. Sara follows me over to the kitchen, and leans against the counter, watching me as I unpack.

“So as soon as we leave, you go out and buy all the food?” she whines.

“Yes,” I snap. “My money. My food. And also, you have no clue what you’re talking about. This is the first big shopping I’ve done in months, not that it’s any of your business.” I shake my head. I’m even more annoyed at her now. “Why am I even explaining myself to you?”

“Because you owe me one,” she mutters sullenly.

I look at her to see if she’s serious. Yep. She is. I take my rage out on the shopping, slamming a tin of beans hard down on the shelf in the pantry.

How am I related to someone so self-centered?

It’s like the only thing she cares about in the world is herself.

“I'm not your slave, Sara, and I'm not your mother,” I say, leaving it at that.

No. I’m sick of letting it go when it comes to Sara. Every other time, I’ve backed down from telling her how I feel because it’s easier than dealing with Mom, but not today.

“Do you know what annoys me the most about you?” I ask.

“No, but I get the feeling I’m about to find out.”

“It’s how tightly you’ve got Mom wrapped around your little finger,” I continue, as if she hadn’t even spoken.

“Ah, so that’s what this is about,” she says, her eyes lighting up.
