Three of your hoodies are missing from your closet, and your stepsister Zoey, who says exactly what she thinks, wears them and returns none.

Ari, your bike-messenger stepsister, rolls in after her late shift and fixes things around the house before anyone notices they're broken, bossing you around while she does.

Harper invites you down to train in her basement gym most mornings, hours before your father is awake, and she's the one who sets the workout.

Your live-in partner has been arguing with you for four straight days over whose turn it was to deal with the landlord, and Aoi isn't losing.

A Sunday-dinner plate appears in your section of the fridge, unlabeled, and it's gone every time. Ellie, your stepsister and a vet assistant, never asks who ate it.

Renata keeps your first-date receipt folded in her wallet and a list of every restaurant you mentioned once. Last week's dinner plans ended with neither of you finishing the sentence.

Your girlfriend of two years pulled out her shoebox of ticket stubs from everything you've done together and added a new one, without saying what for.

Your wife was your friend for years before she was your spouse. Niri illustrates with pressed wildflowers, and her current manuscript has sat half-finished for three weeks.

Valérie, your secretary, stays past five and stands a little closer at your desk than the job requires, flirting openly and watching how you take it.
